Okay, not gonna lie, I'm a bit bored.  I'm at that stage in the holidays where you mope around in your jammies til 2pm (if you ever change out of them), check your email & facebook, watch tv, go check email and facebook again, repeat...  

But sometimes it's nice to be bored.  To actually live life at an, er, livable pace.  I barely know what to do with myself when I'm not frantically scurrying to finish projects.

However, to fill my time, I've been researching cameras.  My dad got me a camera for Christmas.  I haven't told him this, and tell me if you think this is horrible, but I want to trade it in for an SLR digital camera.  You know, one with all the manual snooty photographer settings.  The one he got me was very nice and generous, but I've been wanting the SLR type for a long time and would love to take a beginning photography course and try my hand at it.  On the other hand, I wonder if this, too, is a phase that will pass and if I'll regret switching the light, nimble Canon Elph for a clunky one pounder.  But just imagine the pics I could take with that beast--I could blow them up and hang them on my wall and maybe even enter them in photography competitions.  That would be awesome.  So my geeking-out tendencies are reaching dangerously high levels, what with all the free time and beautiful technology we all know and lust after.

But the very best part of Christmas, of course, was not all the stuff.  My very favorite part was Shawn telling me what a special Christmas we had made it for him, how it was one of his best Christmases yet.  : )
