I'm back home after a fun little Christmas. It's the year my 2 year old niece is completely conscious of the Christmas experience so it was a helluva good time watching her tear into wrapped presents whether they were hers or not. I don't know if she'll ever remember the day, but if I were her I would hope so. Sometimes, it doesn't really get much better than Christmas when you're 2. It's pretty cool being a grown-up (relatively) and watching it happen, too. All in all, a very quiet day full of running around and eating too much.
I did miss my girl though. The last time I visited my sister's place was with her and the spot next to me on the guest bed was noticeably empty. I'm anxious to see her. I hate the feeling and yet I don't want it to go away. I'm hoping it'll be that way for a long time.
Last night I read a hundred pages of a book called The Time Traveler's Wife. If you know me, all you gotta do is put the words "time traveler" in the title of whatever the hell it is you're trying to sell and I'll buy it. I'm a time travel nut. And, so far, this book's pretty good. It's a love story, to be sure, but with enough unexplained (so far) time traveling to keep my interest. So far, it's been a very sweet story. The dust jacket promises tragedy and stuff later. I'm sure the author's gonna do her best to try and make me cry. Challenge: accepted.
