My day is made!

Despite being up at 6am thanks to hyper cats and the inability to breathe (unrelated issues), this has been an amazing morning. Why? I just spent an hour on Yahoo IM chatting with my Mom and my little brother, both of whom have webcams set up. I got to see Eric! He looks really good too, even if he did do multiple 'Scary Eric' looks at the camera. He has no hair, of course, recently cut, and he was wearing an anorak under his uniform. Evidently it's kinda chilly there. It was so good to actually see him though, and get real time communication. And he might be home in March! Think happy thoughts!

Now we're off to shopping land, to deposit Dean's paycheck and hopefully pick up a digital scale and yoga mat for me. :)
