So I have managed to survive one of 3 Chrismases so far. My sister's family is going to Hawaii for Christmas so we had to celebrate Christmas early on my birthday.

Here's my holiday-to-date by the numbers...
Number of birthday presents received= 3
(one digital voice recorder, 1 set of Narnia books, and 1 James Taylor CD)
Number of times I was told happy birthday (not including email or SG) = 1
Number of Christmas presents received= 2
(one candle and some dark chocolate)
Number of presents given=11 (mostly to nieces and nephews)
Number of Diet Cokes consumed on birthday/Christmas= 9 (no, I am not kidding)
Number of Diet Cokes that contained rum= 5
Number of times my brother made fart jokes=7
Number of times my sister left the house to "smoke"= 7
Number of football games watched= 4
Number of dark chocolate M&M's consumed= about a pound

But I did get to go out and celebrate after I got back to Portland. By the way, here is what I look like when I am 31...holy crap. I'm 31.
