i had planned on going on and on about how happy i am to see 2008 go, but time has a funny way of softening things, doesn't it? 2008 wasn't the best and probably not the worst, but it was and is. and we keep moving on. happy new year friends. let's go.

serious

first i want to say thank you so much to our friends and family for coming out to support david saturday and sunday. the event was spectacular! for me the best part was seeing all those kids look so proud. and of course to see david step into the spotlight for the briefest of moments. but now, now it's time to get serious. serious about christmas. i am throwing myself into it full tilt this week. i have pounds and pounds of butter, flour and sugar waiting oh so patiently for me. and paper and red envelopes and stamps, just sitting there sad and alone. well no longer! i head the call. i say boo to you cold weather, i'll stay warm in front of the oven. if you need me, that's where you'll find me. oh and can you believe i forgot about my own blog birthday? oops. four years on december fourth! that doesn't seem right, but i checked the numbers and indeed it is. i'll probably have more to say about that once i emerge from my christmas frenzy, but for now butter beckons.

bread is good, and so is

well, feel free to fill in the blank. i would say, and so is: turkey, family, love, life, health, dentists, classic movies, snow (just a bit), sun, cocoa, coffee, cookies, pumpkin pie, down comforters, cheese, good cheese, lots of it, candied pecans, sisters, brothers, grandmas, grandpas, scategories, movies, i said movies, but i'll say it again, sleep, bacon, boots, soup, flannel sheets, friends... i could go on and on. it's december people! happy birthday mom. 54 never ever looked so good.
