I Ain't Got Nothin'!

Just a fly-by post to say I'm still alive!

We had a wonderful Christmas - the kids got so many toys I don't think the garbage collectors are going to like us much (boxes, boxes, boxes!).  On the other hand, the battery people love us.  We should own stock.  Hell, we probably do and just don't know it!

I'm writing to you on my nice new shiny beautiful, fast and most amazing laptop my dear hubby got me for Christmas.  Now I just need to get a new desk to go with it!  Yes, I accessorize *around* my favorite things!

We had family over and I cooked a 10-pound Christmas prime rib, potatoes gratin, green beans, rolls, pumpkin pie and pecan pie cake.  It was a nice spread and we have some rather tasty left overs.  I'll be glad when the pie is gone though...unfortunately it's all going to my waistline (GAWD...I LOVE pumpkin pie!)!  It was good to be with family - the kids enjoyed seeing all the grandparents...shoot, so did I!  To be honest, though, the best part of the day was collapsing on the couch.  I'm looking forward to just a bit of relaxation, even though I have to go back to work tomorrow (whahhhhhh!).  Now comes the fun part - putting away the tree.  I'm usually ready for it the day after Christmas.  This year's no different, so we'll see how long it lasts!  I give it 3-4 days tops.

Blogging will commence again, now that I have some free time.  Frequency depends upon what I walk into at work.  It is year-end review time, end of quarter time, first quarter preparation, I have a new boss, and there seems to be no end of the fun!  I was planning to take this week off, but that darned flu got in the way.  The good thing is, this is the slowest work week of the year otherwise, so I might just get some stuff done!!

Anyway, before I put you to sleep, just wanted to toss a few thoughts into the air to see where the landed.  Now it's off to real life once again!  Take care!
