2009 Awaits (Midwest)


Well, we have about 16 more hours of Christmas vacation. I haven't posted over break so I will line list some of the highlights...

•The rats climbed up the Christmas tree. Tree sap + rat fur = not good.
•I had two cosmos in one evening and wasn't even buzzed. This is remarkable. Trust me.
•I was on my letterpress once for a quick print job.
•Indoor soccer, bowling, and inflatable bouncing sessions were all achieved.
•I had a fun, paid (!) photography gig as a second shooter at a wedding.
•One of us caught a stomach flu and at this point we don't know how many others were exposed.
•Sam cut most of his left eyelashes off.
•We have had 3 family game nights with charades being the most popular game.
•I ate 9 pieces of chocolate fudge on Christmas Eve.
•We had at least one day were we never got out of our pjs.
•We sledded. And, sledded. And, sledded again.
•Hannah became my photo sidekick when she got a digital camera for Christmas.
•Fights happened and were sometimes resolved.

All and all we managed to end break with a trashed house, overtired occupants and an empty fridge. Well done, I must say.

Happy New Year!!!

Sounds like a vun time, and a satisfying winter break! Except for the stomach flu part, hope no-one else gets it. OK, you know it's been way too long since I have been on when I can't even remember my password. It has taken me 5 minutes to sign on...

Dear Queen Bees,
I've SO enjoyed reading your blog this last year, and have even gone back to previous years to see how all of this originated. Please keep up the fun posts! It's just the right combination of artsy and neighborly.

Laurie,
I actually had to change my password because I couldn't remember the old one!
