I have been incredibly worn out. So many big wheels are turning in my life on top of the holidays. To save some of my juice, I am wimping out in the posting department and going for numbered points.
1. HAPPY NEW YEAR! I'm working, so we just ate out at a humble little place we both enjoy. Then we came home. We lit sparklers in our driveway, then I stumbled around a bit before heading to bed. At midnight, I was awoken by all the fireworks. I rushed outside in time to see my husband and 3 of the households from my cul-de-sac all out watching the fireworks display of a nearby hotel. Some of them had noisemakers and some had fireworks of their own. We stood there laughing and chatting and enjoying. I really love my neighborhood and my humble little home.
2. I usually write my Fun Food Friday on Thursday night and set the options so that it posts on Friday. Not feelin' it right now. Sorry. See the first paragraph for reasons. ;-) I have things I want to post so I'll get to it Friday night or Saturday.
3. The Stirrup Queens blog's Creme de la Creme posted today!! I don't know how that woman does it every year, but she's something else! I haven't had time to read through them yet but skimmed them briefly, and I'm excited! I submitted mine. Have you submitted yours? I've already had a few comments and am so appreciative.
4. Wow! I am very humbled that some of you would be so interested in a book I've enjoyed! (see the post before this one) Now I'm all nervous you won't like it! haha. I need to warn you that it does get very Buddhist-technical at points, so it loses me sometimes. It hasn't excited me quite like secret thoughts of an adoptive mother, but I need the serenity.
5. A dear friend of mine has started her own blog! I've always thought she had a gift with words, and that she has a lot of words to share! I'm so glad she's doing this. She and her family have been mentioned on my blog at times, and she's a frequent commenter. Her blog is about the joy and hardship involved with initially, her pregnancy, and then with finding out that her precious baby has Down's Syndrome. Go over and support her efforts if you are having a good baby day. :)
6. I'm so jealous of Hub and his holidays off. :(
