Well, after three days back in small-town MN (and driving around what has rapidly become a city of subdivisions containing nothing but the same house in three shades of beige - ew) I'm wrapping things up here and heading out to big-city MN tomorrow for Xmas with dad. Both my mom and dad have dialup connections, however, so I'm keeping this to a minimum as I may be booted off any moment. I am however, currently totally jealous of the new PC my brother and I got my mom for Xmas.
As for the trip thus far, it can be summed up in three words - too much food. God, I may never eat again. What is it about moms that make them hoard and serve more food after you've moved out than they *ever* did when you lived there? I mean, my mom added a whole new pantry to the kitchen, for the love of pete! And I know she'll be sending cookies home with me too. Looks like I'll be bringing them into work after new years because I'm already in desperate need of a return trip to the gym as it is...

1 entire cheesecake
1 chocolate "bomb" pastry
1 box of Krumkaka (Norwegian cookie that looks like a cardboard tube but tastes sooo much better)
1 box of Rosettes (think of a small taco salad shell but sugary and covered in powdered sugar)
1 bag of assorted cookies
I now have no room left in my trunk, and I'm supposed to give my brother a ride down to my aunt's on Friday. Looks like I'd better start eating...
