It's still Christmas time for my family so we're still away consuming our bodyweight in chocolate (when I say we, I really mean, well, me).

Tonight we went to our (the Hodgson Side) family Christmas get-together. It was held at my uncles new mansion in Bountiful. And when I say mansion, I mean mansion. He lives on the highest point of any mountain in Bountiful and his house is at least four of mine combined, probably more. It was SO nice to have space to have our Christmas celebration. Getting to his house was another thing. Randy drove, and his tires are bald. Combine this with falling snow, wet roads, and a grade to steep you leanforward so the car doesn't start rolling down the hill, and you get terrified passengers becoming very prayerful.

The gifts were awesome this year!! My Grandma has been travelling the world this past year, and got our presents abroad. I got one of those wooden dolls that seperate and have 5 more dolls inside. From Russia! The real thing. Also a tote bad and pearl necklace from China. My mom got a real Jade bracelet from China. Gorgeous!! And as usual she shelled the cash for everyone. I have the most generous grandma ever.

My cousin Brady had my name this year and got me a $10 giftcard to Deseret Book. I love that place and could buy the whole store. All in all, a great second Christmas!!

Today I actually changed my myspace profile. i realized that my old one, you can't really read the font very well. So, you should go look at it. I added two blogs as well.

Well, the camera is still lost. I think I may actually have to clean my room to find it. It would happen sooner or later I guess.

Brother Allen (SLCC insitute choir director) called me up yesterday. I guess I'm starting choir again!! I"m excited, but dreading having to get up at 6am again. I truly believe my body was built to go to bed late and wake up late. It just functions better and I sleep better. Plus I need 9 hours of sleep. Or it could just be that depression has stuck around and is effecting my sleep habits. Is fatigue and lots of sleeping a sign? Who knows. I'm getting over it.

I've been obsessed with looking for homes for sale in Utah these days. I want to move out, but paying rent just seems like a waste of money because you're not investing as if it was a house you were paying for. Houses are expensive though. Some very small ones in Ogden for about 70k up to 100k. Hard to pay for a house/bills/car when you only make $12/hr. Where's my millionaire dream man when I need him? I guess it's all dreams as I don't even have a job yet. Oh well.

Not that I'm actually trying for a job at the moment anyway. I've started a work out program early in December and I've been dedicated all my energies and time to it. It's the fastest I've ever lost weight, and I don't want to do anything that will distract me from it. for now, that is. I'll be updating my tracker above quite soon. Watch out!!!!!!

Well, church tomorrow(who knows if I'll actually go) so I should get to bed. Does anyone else watch Greys, private practice and Chuck? when in the heck are they going to have new episodes?!?!?!?

Tootles ya'll
