Someone please give this guy a job.
These two are having way too much fun! May you too end 2010 and begin 2011 laughing all the way!
What? I know Christmas is over, but I have until January 1st to keep it around. That’s my rule anyway. By January 1st I want all the Christmas decor back in it’s box for storage. It just seems strange to start a new, fresh year with a bunch of last year Christmas clutter!
We had a very (much needed) mellow holiday this year. The last two months have been especially busy and it was nice to only have one thing on the ‘to do’ list: Celebrate Christmas. We lit a fire on both the Eve and the Day. Ate cookies. Put the dogs in santa suits. Chatted with family. Ate some more cookies. Ate way too much stuffing and gravy. Ate even more cokies. And just hung out doing the Christmas thing.
I tried to make it a whole weekend of relaxing, but by 4:00 yesterday I couldn’t stand it anymore and I had to get busy. I did Pilates, laundry, errands, whatever. Anything to get me moving!
After the chaos of my birthday settled, it did end up being an OK day overall since I was able to fit in two fun things. A coffee date with a girlfriend around noon and Joe insisted we go buy my AWESOME birthday gift, even though we couldn’t go until 9:00 pm. I’m glad he talked me into it. I’ll tell you about it in a later post.
Yesterday another girlfriend invited me over to her house to celebrate my birthday. I told her it had to be a celebration of both our birthdays since she too was having one next week! She always puts out an elaborate spread of goodies with plenty of champagne flowing. Being pregnant, I had to pass, but she had bought me a bottle of non-alcoholic champagne, which surprisingly tasted just like the real thing! When it came time for tea (insert SIGH here) I had to pass on that too. No caffeine or even most herbal teas for me while pregnant. I’m being a good girl and following all the little pregnant instructions out there. So my cute little tea cup had to sit empty. But that’s OK because my cup is full right now in so many other ways.
