I ran into these via reddit and think they are great. Top is the M/F version. Bottom is the M/M version.

With the clarity and straighforwardness of a small child.
The winter holidays are gone. But there were a few highlights:
Basler xmas... Everyone was curious about married life. I told them it was pretty much the same. My aunt's dog humped a number of small children. There was A LOT delicious food. Stewart WiiFit the crap out of my cousins, because he cannot make himself lose. There was some sort of yankee swap related drinking game, but I don't participate in the swaps, so I didn't do that either. Ben cried this year, because he did not realize a Best Buy gift card in basically interchangeable with a Toys "R" Us gift card in as far as buying video games.
Awkward high: When my grandfather asked to see the Christmas in heaven ornaments my aunt had gotten to commemorate my grandmother's death. They did not get along.
Favorite moment: Sitting with my grampa looking at his pocket scrapbook of things he's made this year out of industrial scraps. I definitely get my craftyperson tendencies from that side of the family. Also the trash picking tendencies.
Funniest moment: My sister, Caitlin, Sticking my uncle Chris with a jewelry box at the end of the swap because she wanted a toothbrush. And because of the two toothbrush holder, Chris was less likely to break her wrists.
We spent xmas eve at my cousin's house with her family. Thses family gatherings are the craziest because of the kids. Ella, Brooke and Colin are the cutest kids evar. Best moment was Colin (age 4) stomping around the house in a frilly witch costume air punching and chanting, "Get out of my way, get out of my way!"
The day was uneventful, as was New Years. And now life gets on.
Most notably, I was transfered from the house in Amherst to Southampton. The difference is astounding. I went from working in a house with heavy behavioral intervention nonsense and low care requirements to a house with pretty much no behavior element and total care.
And to my own shock, I prefer it. I liked my old boss and (most of) the old staff. I definitely clicked with some of the guys more than others. But I love my new situation. It's great, the entire staff, the house climate--It's all great so far.
