Calm before the Storm

Ever feel this way? Stuck. Stressed. Worn out with worrying. Knowing that work is about to become one massive headache for the next couple months . . . waiting and wondering when it will hit. Almost wanting it just to come so that you can get into the difficult part and stop stressing about how bad it will be. But also treasuring that last bit of ease.

On a more positive note - I thought my iPod Nano was broken but it is working again!

The "List"

In accordance with the tradition of making New Year's resolutions (I know I am a bit late with this one), a couple of us got together to work on the list of things we want to do while in the city this year. Magically we managed to cross one thing off the list while it was in the creation stage - we were at Cafe Lalo (where Meg Ryan meets Tom Hanks in You've Got Mail). Now that's what I call efficient! The food was pretty and tasted good so it was fun.
So far as my resolutions go . . . we'll see if I have any success :)

At Home for Christmas

Wow - I can't believe the time is over already, but I had a fabulous time while at home and other points west. Spent some absolutely wonderful time with the family.

Tried to get my little bros to pose with me - obviously with varying degrees of cooperation.

Had a bit more success with my little sisters
Some more favorite photos . . .

All in all it was a wonderful time and I wish that it would have lasted much longer!
