Old Acquaintance

Three out of the past four new year's I've had this same picture set up. Seriously, '08, '09, and now '11. Here's to good friends and a bright future! No resolutions other than to be resolved. Try and figger that one out!

Snow? No. Flakes? Yes.

I did a bit of shopping and sewing today, and the girls came home from Sheila's. That's about it.

Good sidekicks usually have thumbs

Jason's weekend is finally here, so we decided to celebrate in style, by going out to a place that makes you take your onion rings for a walk before you eat them. But on the plus side, my hands kind of look like fighting elephants in this picture. See, 'cause elephants don't fight aggressively, they just turn away and refuse to talk to one another ever again. 'Cause they never forget. *cough* We went for a little walk around the plaza and hit up the Starbucks when all of a sudden my stomach did one of those "Oh yeah, I forgot that I hated you..." things. (Stomachs and elephants have very little in common.) I tried to suck it up as we drove to Westport to continue the date, but after half an hour or so I just couldn't take it any more. Ughhhhh....so we were headed home by 10pm. How disappointing. But we had fun while it lasted, and on the plus side, I got to spend a little more quality time with not just Jason, but Spartacus. With the girls gone, he's been extra clingy this week. I'm okay with that. (Mmmm.......fuzzy)

Home

I had a friend-filled day today. My favorite! I went to the movies with Chez and Matt, spent the afternoon and evening with Jason, then hosted a small but mighty get together with some friends from school. Wonderful, but exhausting. I will be sleeping in tomorrow, and then I am going to exfoliate my forehead.

Running and Sparkling again

It's funny how much easier it is to get things done when you have the entire house to yourself. Jason did more overtime today so he slept late, and during that time I got a lot of my 'do this during Christmas break' list done. I had a few plans just in case I got bored, but didn't end up needing them. I did make him take me to Chick-Fil-A for dinner, though. They're not open Christmas or Sundays and I've been craving one since Christmas Eve. Mmmm...a well-won prize for a hard day's work. THIS IS SANDWICH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Know You.

Today was rather low key. Jason worked some overtime so he slept pretty much all day, so I used my me time to do a little grocery shopping and catch up with Dr. Who. Win.

Heart's Desire

Merry Christmas, everyone. We opened presents and watched Star Wars and had dinner with the fam before Jason and I drove home sans chilluns. They are going to spend the week with Sheila since our original plans for the week fell through. I got home to find I had left my phone on the bed (no reception down there anyhow...didn't need it) and I had a whole slew of texts wishing me and mine a merry Christmas. I fully and freely return the sentiment and any and all accompanying kindness and/or love with which it was sent to each and every one of you.
