Dear Hangover ~
This weekend I went home with my girlfriend to meet her parents for the first time. The last thing I wanted was for my weekend to be a carbon copy of the movie 'Meet the Parents.' Sadly, that was pretty much what happened. As we pulled into the driveway, I ran over her dad's foot with the car. I thought her sister was her mother'which made her sister cry and I fed the dog turkey which made it throw up on the family's Persian rug. I think it is safe to say I will not be asked back to their house for Christmas.
Sincerely,
Reunion Ruiner

My family, like many Wisconsin families, has the tradition of getting pretty tipsy at holiday functions. This year, my grandma brought a lot of her homemade wine and we all dipped in pretty early. I came into the kitchen where all the pre-meal snacks were laid out and my cousin was munching on something that looked like granola or cereal. I asked him what he was eating and he said drunkenly, 'This great party mix I found on the bottom shelf in the cupboard.' My aunt informed him, with a horrified look in her face, that he was eating dog food ... leftover from what the family dog did not finish the night before.
Sincerely,
Drunk as a ... Dog

This weekend I went up north hunting with my dad, uncles and cousins. We spent all day in the deer stand, and it was sleeting for most of the day. My uncles are kind of hardcore, so we spent more time in the tree stand than we should have. At the end of the day everyone got up to leave, only I couldn't. My blaze orange had frozen to the metal barrel I was sitting on. My uncles had to walk 30 minutes back to the cabin and get some hot water to pry me off. Strangely enough, no one got a deer all day and when they went back to get the water, I shot a 10 point buck! Getting stuck turned out to be the best thing that happened all weekend.
Sincerely,
Stuck on Hunting

This weekend I was taking a bus to Chicago to catch a plane home to Boston. It's a pretty long bus ride, so I put on my iPod and fell asleep. I don't know if it was the NyQuill I took earlier in the day, but somehow when we got to O 'Hare I didn't wake up. I woke up back in Madison on the bus after the bus driver shook me awake about seven hours later. I had to spend an extra night in Madison and fly out Thursday morning.

Sleepy Even Without Turkey
Post Holiday Sentiment for those returning to Madtown:
We're all back in school
Doing papers and tests
Hang in a few more weeks ...
And we can go home to rest!
