Back to School

So I'm heading back to school tonight, and I must say I'm ready for it. I finished working on Friday so yesterday and today were more or less free days in which I finished packing.

Yesterday, (monday) Dad and I helped out some of our friends cut firewood, and I'm a little embarrassed to say that it's the first time I've ever operated a chainsaw. It felt great to work outside though, and thankfully it was just cloudy, not wet. Monday night I went to the mall to get some stuff for school one of which was sneakers, I found a really nice pair on sale for $40, the only kind, and it was my size. Thank God!

We also found the entire Pink Panther Cartoons on hulu which made my day! We've been watching...well..quite a few of those. Oh and by the way on my way home from the mall last night a guy in the neighborhood with a rifle slung over his shoulder was walking across the road...neither odd nor frightening around here.

Over the weekend David and I went and saw Sherlock Holmes which turned out to be a great movie and even sparked me into reading some of the books again. Some great lines:
Watson - "What are we doing?!"
Holmes - "We, are waiting. I, am smoking"

And another which you'd have to see the context to understand:
Holmes - "It's so overt, it's covert"

And finally:
Watson - "Get that gun out of my face!"
Holmes - "It's not in your face, it's in my hand."

And finally, a Christmas photo: (I'm opening my sisters' gift, but I'm meaning to steal it)
