I also took a real vacation. Like, from work.
I think part of me was just really happy to not feel like I had to stare at a computer screen all day, but then I had that sinking feeling almost everyday that I should be staring at the screen doing work.
The real world is an entirely different ball game.
At least in college when I was on vacation everyone was on vacation. Now vacation is completely dictated by when I choose to take it, and everything else keeps going full throttles ahead without me.
But despite that nagging feeling in the pit of my stomach, I did manage to have some fun while I was gone.
I saw a lot of family.
And a lot of friends who are family.
Liza and I did some baking.
I'm also very serious when I bake, apparently.
As per Liza's request and a previously failed attempt, we doctored Jessica's recipe for Chocolate Fudge Pomegranate Cookies so that they were a little less crumbly and a little more fudgy. I think it was a success.
We are also such successful bakers that we accidentally made puff pastry from scratch while trying to make traditional Polish Christmas cookies called Kolacky.
I guess that's what happens when you try to double a recipe and forget how to do basic arithmetic. Whoops.
For future reference, if you double the butter and the cream cheese, you should probably double the flour and the sugar too. Otherwise you get a big sticky mess.
We also went to the Caps game.
And had really terrible seats.
Just kidding.
Ovi and I are best friends now.
Now I'm getting ready to go out a ring in the new year! See you in 2012!
