Narnia

Let me begin by wishing you all a happy and healthy 2006. I have some high hopes for this year, and I think overall, it should be a pretty good one.

New Years eve was spent with Steven and his parents for the usuall shrimp and crackers and dip and all sorts of excellent finger food, sitting around eating and waiting for the ball to drop. Yay and Happy New Year and all that stuff.

Sunday, we slept late, got up and watched the Steelers game. Then we came down to my parents house for the traditional saurkraut and pork New Year's Day dinner.

Since then, not a whole lot has happened. Monday, I sat around the house and read a bunch of Calvin and Hobbes (Not a bad way to spend a day *grins*). On Tuesday, Angie stopped by in the morning, and it was great to see her. I finally have a phone number now, so hopefully we will be able to stay in touch a bit better. Then I was off to Erie to have lunch with Karla and Leslie, whom I worked with over the summer at PISP. It was good to see them again, and odd not to see eachother sweaty and dirty and in our crumby DCNR shirts. And of course, you can't go wrong with Panera. After lunch, I ran some errands and then got comfortable at Barnes and Noble with a good book and a Mocha. The mocha wound up being a bad idea, and I was up half the night, but the book was good and so I bought it. Steven met me there after work and we were off to the theater to see Narnia.

Narnia.........To say I was pleased with the movie would be an understatment. For the majority of the movie, I belive I was grinning from ear to ear just because it was so incredible. It was just great. I hadn't even pulled out of the parking lot when I wanted to watch it again. This movie will definatly be in my dvd collection. Talking animals and magical lands.....its like my childhood imagination brought to the big screen.

As for yesterday and today, a lot of Calvin and Hobbes, a lot of piano, and the dreaded doing laundry and getting things ready to go back to Ohio. In one way, i'm glad to be going back. I miss my appartment, and living with my parents again for the last 3 weeks has been trying. It will be good to get back to my own space, if only that space were in Erie, and not so damned far away from hills, friends, family, and most of all, Steven. Considering Erie will likely be the next town I call home, here's to hoping the next 4 semesters (summer included) go smoothly and quickly.
