In the in between....

 Dear Life-

A word if you please.  

We would like to take you one day at a time.  

No more.

No less.

Enough with trying to pack everything in at once.

I'm on to you...

 

 The coffee maker is tired...it needs a break.

You'll have to back off for a while.

Thanks for understanding.

Sincerly,

Me

Corners...

I just couldn't bare to take down all the pretty twinkle lights when I boxed the stuff of Christmas up and tucked them back under the stair case...

the corners of the house seem a little dark and sad...

I am happy to report I did not gain 19 pounds this year due to the thrill of holiday eating...maybe 18 pounds...but definitely not 19...

now that I've been laid off from my job as Santa's helper, I have taken a temporary job assisting the stork by making lovely gifts for the babies that will be joining some sweet families we know...

I went to the grocery store today and came home with spinach, frozen blueberries, oranges, bananas, grapefruit juice, flowers and cat food treats...

almost all of it went into a knee slapping, high fiving, more please and thank you smoothie I made...

I'll let you guess which items did not make the dive into the blender...

Latte love...

I love my husband a latte...

1.1.12

She gets me...

she totally, totally gets me. 

Love that little four and a half year old.

She was so excited when I was describing to her what a "new year" meant.

How we get to do everything over again...

"another Christmas, another birthday, another trip to the grocery store"...all of it.

We also decided orange juice is about the funniest thing we've ever seen...

Happy 1.1.12
