Recap

A little post holiday recap-

Holiday parties at a friend's house and my own on the same night- an old-fashioned, beer-drinking good time. Apparently, my beer pong skills are something to be admired. (yes, I actually drink beer despite what the nae-sayers might suggest.... you know who you are).

Some last minute Christmas shopping with C-Po (my sister) at a crazed outlet mall. Though slightly battered in spirit, we managed to escape physically unscathed.

Minor, ok major emotional break down on Christmas Eve/Morning somewhere around 4 AM. Subsequent comforting by sister. More details later. Maybe.

Christmas day festivities including some really great gift exchanges, my first guitar!, hanging out with the Fam at my aunt and uncle's house, and watching a home video circa 1987 where Trina (the toddler line-backer) her new born younger sister, 5 year old older sister and two cousins get looked after by some mildly intoxicated parents while at the family camp in Massachusetts. The older kids on several occasions break into song at the request of the adults. The chosen numbers? Bar songs about Senoritas "shaking it".

And then it was back to work.

On the "Trina- future rockstar" front: I can currently play the following chords, G, D, D7, C, A, E, and E7. Not too bad for having just started. Anyone want to teach me how to strum now?

Ok, but now I am suffering thinking of your 4am emotional trauma...spill.

Happiest of new years to you, Trina, may it be as magic as you make life for all of those around you.

you forgot the part about the great scenery shots that made up about 90% of the video...
