Happy New Year

Welcome to 2006. :)

And so the semester begins. Work resumes as normal and classes start tomorrow night. I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of all of my overpriced books. yay. It is colder and rainier in Johnstown today than back in Pittsburgh. My office here (which isn't really MY office, but the spare office that I use when I'm here) is dark and grey...and cold. I'm hungry.

Highlights from the holiday break:
- Christmas dinner consisted of frozen chicken nuggets. They have never tasted so delicious. We spent the early part of the day driving around trying to find somewhere to eat lunch. Then, we went home and watched lots of football. This year, I've really gotten sucked in to football. Gives me something to watch in the baseball off-season.
- New Year's Eve was quieter than last year, but still a good time. I got to see some friends I haven't seen in many, many weeks. Just about everyone we knew was out of town this year for the holidays, so the entire break was pretty quiet for us.
- One of my friends lost a finger a couple of weeks ago. I had NO idea that this had happened until I saw him and he said, "Hey Schna, want to see my injury?" Of course, I said yeah. Then he raises his left hand and VOILA - no pinky. It was most surprising. I told him that I will have to make fun of him endlessly now that he is "subhuman". :)
Which reminds me...
I used to have a friend who had lost his arm just above the elbow. He got a kick out of bopping me on the head with (what he affectionately called) his stump. I suppose I was situated at the just the right height for this. Anyway, that's a tangent...
- Sadie continues to grow and grow and grow. She is easily over 40 pounds now and still going. She and Pancho got a giant hedgehog with a santa hat for Christmas and they LOVE it. I have a video clip of them playing with it which I would post if I knew how. Anyone know how to do this?

Okay, time to get to work. :)
Happy 2006!
