Random recap

So little to say, and so much time...wait, scratch that and reverse...better yet, let's just go with it! My voice is still not 100%, which I just can't understand as I am sure you have assumed that I have kept my mouth shut and resting for the past week. Maybe it is back and I have just forgotten how annoying my voice actually is?

It is time to push off a few of the holiday leftovers on you that are still kicking around...

It needs to be documented that the Christmas Eve dinner I advertised as being served at 4:15? Check that clock!

Maybe when Amanda handed me this tray of cookies, I asked if it was okay to hide it, instead of sharing. And then maybe I did exactly that!

No shame...absolutely none!

Somebody with one of their favorite gifts...

Thanks, Grandma Sue!

Aaaand somebody with one more reason to hate us apparently...

Maybe I have not had the opportunity prior to this to tell you how much my kids love eating snow.

We might not have had big plans for New Year's Eve, but here is proof that we were celebrating...

Even the pizza was hopping...with bubbles?

Even though I didn't feel particularly lousy, I was still not terribly appreciative of the pep talk on every cough drop. Who wants to be told they have "survived tougher" and to "get back in the game" when they are just trying to keep vertical?

Well this hardly seems like an adequate representation of how I spent my Christmas vacation. I am not sure that photos of the seven bags of stuff I hauled out of my closet to donate would make my life seem much more glamorous or express the joy I truly felt this holiday season surrounded by loved ones, laughter, cookies and eggplant....oh, so much eggplant...four glorious days of breaded fried eggplant. Stop. I was doing so well being over it!

Happy New Year dear friends!

Thanks to Stacy, for firing up another year of the random!
