Home again, home again, jiggity jig
I left school four days ago. I am FINALLY home. From Michigan I went straight to my grandma's. We put up her Christmas tree, decorated the whole house for Christmas. My cousins were down from Wisconsin, so it was really good to see them. Today, we went downtown to eat breakfast under the giant tree in the Walnut Room in Marshall Fields. I love doing that. We used to do it every year, and I think I've had to miss it since I started college. I might have made it one year. We saw the windows (Paddington Bear this year) and stopped at the huge Old Navy. Then home.
Not much more to report. It SNOWED. Pretty. Supposed to snow some more in the next few days. Yippee!! Cold without snow is just plain pointless. I do hope it warms up, though, because it was FREEZING today. Like, painfully cold this morning. The thermometer said 12 degrees, which may or may not have been truthful, but it was DARN cold.
Came home to walls missing in our house. This is not an unusual occurance, but it's been a while since it's happened. My dad has been working on this addition since.... well, he drew up the plans when I was in eighth grade. It was a year or two before ground was broken, but it's been probably six or seven years since things really started to get underway. Anyway, aside from "finishing touch" type things, the only major thing left was the entryway. From inside the house, it looked finished; from outside the house it looked finished, but we had two front doors. Anyway, the inside front door is finally gone, and the entryway is open to the rest of the house. Drywall still needs to be put up, but it's gonna look nice! Whee! Exciting.
