Crazy monkey and I got back into Fresno, Calif. around 2 a.m. from our game against UC Riverside. We were extremely tired, so as soon as we got home we went to bed and fell asleep. We had the next few days off, so we got to sleep in and didn't wake up till around ten. We woke up and had cereal then spent the rest of the day watching sports center and being lazy! When dinner came around we were feeling rice bowls, so we went to Teriyaki Don for chicken rice bowls, then had Twix for dessert.

Crazy monkey and I woke up from a good night's rest and had to pack before we left for Pismo to see my mom! We were on the road by 10:30 a.m. and ready for a fun day at the beach. We decided to stop in Kettlemen City to get a burrito from Taco Bell and get right back on the road. We arrived in Pismo around 1 p.m. and everyone was so excited to see us. We helped my mom wrap all day and went shopping just before dinner. My mom and step dad decided to treat Crazy Monkey, my brother and I to a nice seafood dinner out. Crazy Monkey and I shard scallops and treated ourselves to banana cream pie. We were so full and tired so as soon as we got home we crashed.

Today is Christmas Eve, so Crazy Monkey and I have a lot of wrapping and cooking to do. My mom made CM and I eggs with bacon and toast. After we ate, we began helping my mom in the kitchen. During the holidays, my mom keeps more than enough food around so we were eating non-stop. We finished all of our wrapping first, so we decided to go into San Luis Obispo to shop. We got a little too carried away shopping, so we had to head back to the house. When we got back it was dinnertime and my mom had made the family delicious sausage pasta. After we ate we helped clean up and fell asleep in front of the fire.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! CM and I woke up around 9 a.m. to open gifts! We were so grateful for everything we got, especially all the candy. We all just sat around watching Christmas movies all day. We watched "It's a Wonderful Life", "A Christmas Story", and "the Grinch". It felt so good spending the day with my family and CM. CM and I helped my mom cook the prime rib for dinner and all the side dishes. CM and I made the potatoes and green beans. It was a delicious dinner and of course, both of us over ate and didn't feel good. We were put in a food coma and fell asleep by 10.

Time to go home! CM and I woke up somewhat early, so we could get as much time with the family before we left. We helped my mom with her new phone and just played with all of our new gifts. Crazy Monkey and I got home around 6 that night after our last day of being lazy, which we took full advantage of. We unpacked and had some cereal for dinner while watching "the Family Stone". We needed a good night's rest before we hit the court the next day so we went to bed around 9. I was sad for my last night with CM, but we had a good time while it lasted.
Crazy Monkey headed off to spend the next week with junior Rosie Moult.
