Merry Post-Christmas, Happy Post-Hanukkah and Happy Almost New Year!
Wow. Has it been almost another 2 months since I last posted? So much for my return to the blogging world.
*sigh*
In my defense, on top of it being a crazy, busy, sad, happy, sleepless, sleep-filled, travel-heavy two months, I have had my phone as my primary (or only!) means of communicating with the virtual world for much of the two months while Nick confiscated the wireless internet (his phone) and the computer to finish the semester from you-know-where. While the smart phone was a wondrous invention, it is
not conducive to writing long emails, let alone an entire blog post.
And I just realized that I spent nearly half of the last two months away from home. No wonder our gas line item in our budget has been way in the red.
Enough excuses. I'm excited to have access to a computer and internet again since I've spent the last couple months doing some fun projects. It was year-of-the-homemade-Christmas-gifts in our household, so we made candles, lavender scented hand lotion, "canvas" photos, face wash, strawberry applesauce, energy bars, and pancake mix. We made a backyard "ice rink." And, most excitingly, I perfected my
deodorant! So I have a lot of writing to do.
