Merry late Christmas! We had a good Christmas day and night, my sister and her family came out and livened things up for us. Though the girls are reaching the skeptical age, Santa's status here is still Believed. He brought some good stuff this year, and got some sugar cookies in return, along with some carrots for the deer. We gifted ourselves with a new TV, and I think we're all still in shock... we can't seem to turn it off for more than an hour. A good analogy would be upgrading from a rotary-dial phone to a satellite phone. Or going from a doghouse to a 3BR/2BA/2car.
Goodbye to 2008! I wonder what makes a person not care so much about New Year's Eve... Losing the whole Twentysomething lifestyle for sure. Getting old. Below-zero weather. Feeling worn out after 12 days of school vacation, 5 more to go. I need to shake this feeling that every day is just another $#%^@# chore.
Okay so here's my list of aspirations for 2009:
talk to my Grandparents more often
organize
wash the dog
organize
learn lots of things from Martha Stewart
knit ... no more blankets!
take walks
garden in a productive way
organize
get piano and violin lessons underway
send cards and presents out EARLY yeahright
That's enough for now I think.
I'm going to heat some water in my Christmas Kettle, make some tea and plant myself on the couch to get in a few more rows on the baby blanket I started when my baby was still a baby.

Ginny,
I looked at your slide show, mostly to see how your kids have grown. Found myself longing for Alaska (Mark and I lived in Moose Pass in 1993 and have been back to visit 3 times since then - including our honeymoon in Yakutat. He has cousins there too.) really bad!! I just truly miss the natural beauty and lifestyle and wish my kids could grow up with it.
Take good care,
Amy P.W. in Laramie
