home for the holidays

i've been really lazy with updating the last few days, i have no desire to write about the family's visit but give me a few days. i'm now home in jersey, for my three week holiday. the first thing i felt as we walked out of the airport, was the cold. brrrr. i was like fuck, it is freezing! it's funny, as cork's usual winter temperature is about 40-50 with lots of rain and wind. though the last few days it was slightly colder about 32-40, but with the rain it doesn't feel as cold, because the damp and wet. while at home it was about 30 but because it is dry, it feels so much colder. and bitter. 

so it is good to be home. i've already had some of my favourite foods, seen some of my family and talked to my two best friends :) yay for easy phone calls! i cleaned my room yesterday as it was a MESS! my parents use it as storage since i'm gone, and the fact i live in the basement an 1850s farmhouse, means my room is home to lots of little creatures - especially spiders and other insects, so tons of cobwebs and dead little creatures. so spent the day vacumming and dusting. though cleaning this time was a lot easier than the summer when it has been 10 months since i had last been home.  

today i want to finish writing my christmas cards (i started writing them on the plane), mail them, go get my nails done and go into target to get a few things. 

so off to be productive!
