i’ve been on two plane trips since i last wrote and am of course going on one more to head home for christmas in a couple days. that’s three round trips in seven days. i’m a flying machine! that is, i wish i was, so i wouldn’t have to keep taking airplanes, which are a hassle.

this weekend past i went to three christmas parties in only two days, with others last night and tonight. i am also a party machine, which i have no problems at all with except that i don’t get to do enough sleeping the morning after, so i feel somewhat spent. can someone get me ‘energy for partying purposes’ for christmas? do they sell that anywhere?

looking very forward to the holidays that are practically upon me. can’t wait to do the illinois family thing then the san fran new years thing in a quick, fun-filled succession. if i won’t be seeing you any time in the next few days before then (come ooooon, FRIDAY!), then consider yourself merry xmas-ed and happy new yeared.
