Christmas 2006 Highlights

I just got back last night from a whirlwind trip up North visiting my fam…I didn’t write much because I was so busy whirling around. Here are some highlights (imagine you’re listening to “Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire,” except it’s the hip salsa/electronic re-mixed version…or choose whatever drippy Christmas song you like, just make sure it’s remixed…). So, here goes…

1) Tamale Day – Every year the women on my mom’s side of the famiily spend a day making tamales. For the first time this year, I helped “cook” tamales. My participation consisted of taking a spoon and spreading dough on a corn husk while drinking Mimosas and sharing my views on God (not hard). Many cialis australia medications have two names because more than one version of the medicine is available. Few men face this issue at some sale of sildenafil tablets more info here point of time in their lives. It is not an instant pill of installation as buy viagra without prescription. The cost of oral pills is a slight bit lower than the super cialis canada important link other. Anyway, the conversation got heated over the topic of God and even MORE HEATED (no pun intended) over the degree of “hotness” (is that a word?) of last year’s tamales.

2) Bikram Yoga Class with Dad! – I invited my father to a Bikram yoga class (yoga done in a 100 degrees) on Christmas Eve despite the fact that I myself had never experienced this Draconian new age exercise, made ever more distressing by the 80’s style aerobics girl prancing around with her ear microphone. Not only did I have to watch myself in a mirror sweating bulletes in my Ross yoga pants (cute yoga outfit is next on my list of purchases…) but I almost killed my dad! I looked over at him at one point and his head was bright red. “Drink water! Drink water!” was all I could shout, forgetting that he’s a grown man and that we all had the choice to leave the room (there’s something about tortuous yoga classes that make one forget that they are voluntary).

3) Christmas Dinner Discussion Over How Many Years I Have
Left to Bear Children – See blog below for my feelings on this.

Just for today, I can enjoy the holidays.
