Holidays
This holiday has been really good so far.

I've been spending most of my time (the last ~6 days) in Portland with James and family. We have been chilling around the house reading and playing video games, going hiking to various hot spots around the city and having some really great meals, both at restaurants and provided by James' awesome mom.

I am leaving this morning (yes, on a jet plane...) for San Diego. Our cruise ship leaves tomorrow yay. I am really looking forward to our family's Hawaiian cruise. It should be awesome, even if I didn't get my fake tan in advance to protect myself from burning like I was planning to.

Last night, we exchanged presents (sorta)here, and I got some excellent gifts. Jamie's mom got me a fresh pasta maker, something I have wanted to try for awhile. Then James bought me "Apples to Apples", which will be an awesome party game addition to my house. Then, totally to my surprise, he bought me earrings!!!! Earrings I'm not allergic to, with jewels!!! Specifically topaz. They are aquamarine and sparkly (exactly my colours) and awesome. I am so excited. It's the first time anyone but my mom has bought me jewelry to which I'm NOT allergic. Mwah.

Anyway, I gotta go. In case I'm not on here again anytime soon, I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
