Holy taters, it's December?!

It's Monday afternoon after returning from Thanksgiving break. Ugh.

It's been "snowing" for the past 24 hours or so, nothing is really sticking, so it's extra slushy and ugly outside.

I spent the Friday after Thanksgiving at the hospital, getting my eye checked out by an eye doctor. I was physically assaulted by a 2 year-old at Matt's family's Thanksgiving celebration. Ok, not really - but I did throw the kid over my head one too many times, to the point of his little finger using my eye socket as a landing pad. Ended up having scratches on my cornea, was given some antibiotics and eye drops and sent on my way. It's been 3 days & I'm doing much better.... now if I could get the tape marks off my face...

Work is work. It's hopefully going to be fairly quiet this month. Hopefully.

Matt and I haven't gotten a Christmas tree up yet. Perhaps this weekend or next week.

Speaking of Christmas, on the 27th, Matt and I are flying out to Tahoe for a Reynolds family vacation. Matt's sister Megan is a ski instructor out there, so we're all headed out there for the week. Matt's parents are renting out a condo, so that'll be nice. Being the klutz that I am, I'm wondering how well I'll do with skiing. There's always the lodge, I suppose there's a bar there. That reminds me, I need to buy a fancy new ski coat. If I don't ski well, at least I should look the part.

Other than that, nothing new is really going on. Illinois basketball is somewhat surprisingly 6-0 going into the ACC/Big 10 Challenge on Tuesday. Looking forward to going to the game on Saturday at the United Center against Georgia. I'm also looking forward to spending my last month of school-less time doing fun things that I probably won't be able to afford once I'm in school.
