Still a hunk of burning postage

How was your holiday weekend? Mine was frickin' awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed being home and visiting with everyone, and even more so, loved showing off my little baby girl to my friends and family. Of course, she was the hit of every gathering, but beyond that, she was a good girl ... barely fussing unless we were home and smiling up a storm.
And what cool stuff did you all get? Santa (and especially Mom) rocked my world with a lot of good loot. The Alias TV DVD box set (all five seasons, which I'll not get to until next week probably); a bunch of iTunes money; the U2 coffee table book; some Barnes & Noble gift cards; and other stuff. Sydney cleaned up, of course, and came home with the coolest rocking dragon ever from her grandma and grandpa, and a star registered to her from her grandpa; some Baby Einstein DVDs; clothes; toys; books; and all the stuff a growing baby brain needs.
So we're home today. The drive was decent, if a bit long. That drive home from Cali always does seem to take a bit longer, for some reason. Something to do with the expanse of desert when heading into it, rather than away from it, I think...

Did you know that the Elvis stamp is still the most-collected stamp that the post office has ever issued? Now you do. (Any excuse to get my man, Elvis, on the blog is a good one, and that little trivial tidbit serves the purpose today...)
