I suppose it is customary to do some reflecting this time of year. Last year I did this reflection around my birthday, but this year I was so busy I didn't have time! So, I guess that is a good place to start: 2010 was BUSY. I was a maid of honor, I moved to a different state, started graduate school, and traveled to a different state nearly weekly for the entire months of June and July!

Honorable mentions for describing 2010 go to:

• Independence
• New city/apartment/friends/life
• It went by so quickly!
• Saying goodbye (Hopefully 2011 will be full of saying hello again!)
• Beautiful

Happy Boxing Day!

Here are several poorly written odds and ends on this year's holiday festivities:

• First- a gratuitous photo of me enjoying about five of my Christmas gifts at once. That is my mahjong face.
  

• There's a blizzard going on! Good thing we have a ton of candy from our stockings to sustain us!


• I hope everyone had a day as nice as I did yesterday. I really wanted to see my family for Christmas (this was my first one away from home) and through the magic of Skype, my wish came true!! Brad and I really took it slow yesterday, capping off the holiday with a simple steak dinner. We don't normally eat red meat, so it was a real treat for us!


• Fingers crossed for Brad to have a snow day from work so we can use his new sled!


• I'm also really hoping for some more mild weather on New Year's Eve so we can enjoy the fireworks over the Boston Harbor at First Night! I've got to find something festive but warm to wear...maybe that will just mean some red lipstick and some nice earrings poking out from my hat. :o/

Today I am sick

Just in time for finals week

Keep calm, carry on.
