Merry Christmas from Texas
Although it's technically not Christmas in more in the UK, but I'm trying not to think about that since my body clock is still as confused as confused can be. Despite being delayed for 24 hours, our journey over was as smooth as smooth can be, with both flights departing and arriving pretty much on time, and even a decent selection of in-flight movies on the trip across the atlantic, including the sentimental-but-good Little Miss Sunshine. We were stuck in the middle row, but being at the front of economy class meant extra leg-room. We had no windows in sight, unfortunately, making the flight a somewhat abstract experience, particularly when landing in Dallas, when we thought that sudden bump was us entering a bad path of turbulence, then realised that we were, in fact, on the ground.
Christmas dinner was spent at one the house of one of R's many brothers, and a good time was had by all, despite the presence of a great number of over-excited nieces and nephews. Right now, though, I am craving vegetables and brown bread, having eaten so much enough fatty food over the past few days to give an elephant a heart attack.
Tomorrow we hit the sales, and then on Thursday (my birthday) we are heading down to Austin.
Hope you are all having a fun and low-stress festive season!
