1. I am (obviously) back from Switzerland. It was such a great mini-vacation. I only wish I had more time to spend there! The country is beautiful, and it was so nice catching up with family friends. I hadn’t seen them in 10 years! A recap will be coming soon…the busy-ness of the end of the semester is only allowing me to do small blog posts for now.
   
2. It is so fascinating to hear British peoples’ opinions on American things, especially presidents and politics. I am amazed at how media-influenced their opinions are. Television and internet have had such a huge part in my generation’s view on things.
3. Not being a home right now, on Christmas break, cooking like crazy, is killing me. Only 10 more days!
4. When I say that, I don’t mean to sound ungrateful. I have tried to embrace and enjoy each one of these days as much as possible.
5. This is a really good article about staying on-track with your eating habits during the holidays: Ten Tips for Controlling Your Inner Cookie Monster. I found it through the P90X facebook page.
6. Dan will be here in less than 24 hours! Then it’s off to Paris for the weekend!
7. I am still have about 2 days worth of leftovers from that Tuna and Bean Casserole. Good thing about leftovers = saving money. Bad thing about leftovers = you run the risk of getting sick of that food.
   
8. I don’t really have much to say at the moment, except:

Have a great Thursday!
