So, there was a Capello family reunion a few days ago, and Mom called to tell me all about it. The talk of the reunion was how my cousin Paul -- Paulie -- is something of a minor YouTube celebrity. He set up a video of himself explaining and demonstrating 850 Air Magnum rifles. The company that makes the rifles has now asked Paulie to work for them.
Now that's awesome.

Also, his computer case mods are amazing, although the Matrix one freaks me out (in a good way, Paulie, I love you). In "The Screen Savers" I get to see Paul for the first time in years. He looks good. I can see my father in his face.
He has a really neat website: http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/

We've been helping Charlotte prepare food and gifts for her family since this morning. Charlotte and I went to the mall so Charlotte could buy gifts for her young cousins. I got a gift for my husband to share with me. Or for me to use when he's not around. It's very pretty, with a blue marble color pattern. Charlotte and I got separated for about twenty minutes, and since she doesn't have a cell phone, she called me from a pay phone so we could meet at the food court. I still hate malls. However, I always love shopping with a girlfriend.
Tomorrow, Adam and I will be here at Charlotte and Billy's again, to hang out with their cousins and aunts and uncles for a while.
I just found out that Billy loves "A Christmas Story." You know, the classic movie that goes on and on and on in marathons from tonight until tomorrow night. But he'll only watch it once on Christmas Eve. Which is good, because that's about all anyone can take. So that's what we're watching. Pizza should be here soon. We ordered from Pizza Boli's: Extra large thin crust, half black olives ad green olives, half pepperoni and fresh tomatoes. And mozzarella sticks. I'm drinking a bottle of Bom Dia Acai Berry With Pomegranate Juice.
My attitude toward the $winter holiday$ has gotten so casual. I refuse to participate in the rampant commercialism, so I mostly stay at home, or at a friend's home, doing non-holiday things. When we buy stuff for each other, it's simple and sentimental and usually we let the person pick what they want.

I enjoy meditating on the spiritual aspects of the season and not the commercial aspects. I love being with friends and family more than I love buying gifts, honestly.
