Things that I have occupied myself with while being at my parent's place over the Holidays:

1. Playing solitaire on the livingroom floor (by the fire).
2. Watching a lot of T.V. (Legend this morning! I have mostly been watching a lot of crime t.v.)
3. White Russians.
4. Whiskey.
5. Petting the cats a lot to try to make them like me.
6. When she is available, Ginny.
7. Going out to Luke's place and starting a fire outside (this happened once, last night). Catching up/drunk talking with old friends. Hanging out with Lucky Dog and Mya and Grey Kitty and White Kitty. Drinking palm bay on top of vodka. Thanks, Dave? And what was up with the gin + clamato? Oh right...and someone making a moonshine + clamato. Uhhhh?
8. Going grocery shopping with my mom. Wandering each aisle at least twice.
9. Listening to my parents and I talk in our know-it-all cynical ways and I am now resolving to do a bit less of that.
10. Yelling, "I'm bored!" a bunch of times.
