1. A slightly achy jaw from all the crunchy food. I never suspected that one could eat too much crunchy food, but there ya go. In the last week or two, I have gorged on: carrots, cashews, peanuts, broccoli, tortilla chips.
2. A deep reluctance to do anything at all productive for school, short of purchasing some new pens and notepads.
3. A habit of sleeping in until 10AM.
4. When I was a wee one, during holidays, I would peek out from under the avalanche of new toys to watch my parents happily receive shoes, planners, jackets, and other shockingly boring items from Santa. I marveled at how terrible adults’ gifts were, and vowed never to request anything dull. Well; this Christmas, I asked for and received such gifts as a salad spinner, a desk chair, and a file cabinet. I am become adult, destroyer of fun.
5. On the other hand, Mr. P finagled his way into finding me a Nintendo Wii! I am becoming rather expert at bowling and tennis, although baseball still escapes me. He purchased Resident Evil 4 for himself; while he slashes and hacks away at Spanish-speaking, scythe-wielding zombies, I cower at the computer reading the walkthrough aloud. I prefer tennis.
6. A most hearty love of napping.
