Back in Fullerton

Well, here I am, back in the OC after being in Tulare for almost 4 days. I have to say it was a very nice trip and was a lot of fun. I was able to make it to the bar a few nights for some drinking and dancing - nothing too crazy of course. I was able to spend time with my friends and my family, which is always awesome.

The suckiest part is that my mom got sick Christmas morning and spent all day Christmas and yesterday in bed. I felt so bad for her. I know she felt bad for being sick while I was there, but I know she can't help it. What's good is that she is feeling better today and hopefully she'll be back to 100% in the next few days.

The most interesting thing that happened? I spoke to my sister on the phone for the first time in over 2 years. The last time I had spoken to her was when my mom was in the hospital in San Francisco back in the summer of 2007. It was kind of odd to talk to her and it felt kind of forced. My mom received a Christmas card from her earlier last week, but I never did. I thought I'd have one when I got back today, but nope... no Christmas card. It's very interesting - I think this is the first time my mom has received a card and I have not. I sent her one, though...she even thanked me for it. Just not quite sure what to think about that. But, I am VERY glad that she called my mom and talked to her - that meant more to my mom than she will ever understand.

Anyway, that's was my Christmas in a nutshell. Back to the grind tomorrow.
