Hey y'all. Merry Hollidaze or something. Happy late-Christmas, happy almost-New Year. All that jazz.
So, in true Ringer from, we had a very sick* Christmas. For approximately the past 6(ish) years, one of us has been sick, and I mean sick on Christmas. It's usually Carly, and almost always me as well. This year, Hayden brought a cough with him from Utah. He was still feeling it on Christmas, I got it on Christmas Eve, and Dad got something awful on Christmas day. Carly steered clear of it, and it's just hitting poor mom.
*It was also sick in the slang way... y'know... like "Yo, bro. This Christmas has been totally sick." I'm really good at slang. Obvi. Actually I really enjoy saying things were "Ill" (Thus the post title) Like "Dawg this is the ILLEST"
Anyway, I'm home for break! I finished all of my finals* on Tuesday, then worked approximately 32 hours the rest of the week. Crazy busy, lots of extra money. We flew home on Saturday afternoon. Probably my least favorite travelling experience of my life. Looking back, it really wouldn't have been too terrible had we not had a fairly late afternoon flight anyway. We ended up being delayed a couple hours and didn't get into Chicago until after midnight, getting us home to normal around 3:00 am. Not super fun. But being home is great! I've been doing a whole lot of veggin' out. Probably something to do with the fact that I feel like total crap, but I'm thankful that I'm getting it now when I have very few responsibilities instead of during the semester.
*Don't ask me how finals went. Don't ask me how this semester went. Let's really just not talk about it.
Christmas was lovely! We've dubbed it "Jenna's Domestic Christmas", because I got a sewing machine. And some measuring cups. Ready to run my own household, y'all.* Really, though. My parents rock. The sewing machine is beautiful and I totally want to actually learn to sew and stuff. I think that's probably an important skill to have as a crafty woman. and all that biznaz.
*By run my own household I actually mean I'm all ready to get wifed up. Seriously. Someone marry me.*
*I'm just kidding. Mostly. All I have to say is June 22.
Speaking of getting married and stuff, I'm getting to a point in my life where it suddenly feels like everyone is getting engaged or married. Thankfully very few of my friends are having babies, otherwise I'd probably be in a full-fledged panic at thing point. But really. At least 5 people I know either got engaged or married since the semester ended. EIGHT DAYS AGO. I'M ONLY 19. There is a serious problem with the fact that I already feel like a spinster.*
*okay so I don't really feel like a spinster. I'm totally comfortable with my single-ness. It's fun. But I mean I'd like to cuddle and stuff.
Okay that's it, kids. Hope you're having a wonderful holiday season... and stay tuned for another post with pictures and maybe some more thoughts and stuff and all that biznaz.
Smooches
Jenna
