Home for the Holidays

So far my holidays here have been so much fun!
I have done many things such as go to the Lirbenson Christmas party, and stuff my face with foods, and sing many songs! We (Lindi, Laura, Elise, Caitlin, Corrie, Cailtin, and I) Sang many christmas/non-Christmas carols throughout the night. We usually just break out into song anywhere we are, and well, since I have been gone I haven't done a lot of it. I was glad to be there and just hang with the crowd. Such great people, I will miss them tons! Also there we had little chocolates that i think were discussing.
Then came the new years HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! Merry 2007!!
Elise and I were told to make a cheeseball and poppers for the party and we did, and it was an awful experience. First we washed and took the seeds out. However, somehow something landed on my bottom lip, and it started to swell, and go red, and BURN, burn so bad. I started frantiking around Elise's kitchen, grabbed some bread, which i couldn't touch because my hands had jalepeno on them. So ran to Elise's mom, and she ripped of a piece of bread (while laughing at me) and i rubbed it on my lip...but that didn't work so I had some water. (with bread in my mouth) but that only made it worse...by like 100%, so I grabbed a big spoon of yogurt and stuck my lip in it. (Very attractive ;) and eventually it stopped. THEN IT CAME BACK BIGGER THAN EVER. So here I was drooling because my lip was on fire, with yogurt, bread, and water on my face...eventually after everyone was done laughing at me it stopped. FOR GOOD...stupid things....they were delicious though. BUT it was just me who got hurt in the process of these scrumptious delights so did Elise, and Caitlin. So it wasn't all at loss. But there is my new year popper story..
Then we went to Lindi's house and hung out, set up the food, greeted some poeple, and hung out. Then I played Euchre. I am too pro at that, my team won the first round (yay matthew!) and then the other team won the second round (only becaus I wasn't really paying attention). Then also the others who weren't playing cards played monopoly! for like 4 HOURS!! Eventually The count down came and we sat, drank some champonade, and sang some crazy new year song. It was great. And what says happy new year than watching Saturday Night Live at 2:00am! Chris Farley! Great, soo funny. Eventually we did go home, and passed out from exhaustion. Good night.
So here I am now. Packing some things to ship to the island, getting my everything organized (hate it!) and trying to fit things and make them work. Flight home, clothes, SHOES! ugh. And where ever you go the government will follow..jerks.. AND I FINALLY GOT MY ROMANS BOOK! ugh i am so impatient that waiting for it just took 10 years off my life. But it is here, so i guess i shall start doing something with it.
So I go back in 5 days...I can't wait to see everyone, it feels like forever. But I also have just no life. So I will exit on that note.
-Happy New Year! >_<
