Well, we had a good holiday, Abbie and I.  As is traditional, I planned for about 600 cookies, overbooked myself, and have only made about 350 to date.  I have one more batch to go to finish Christmas cards and gifts.  Then I need to send thank-you notes, and Christmas will be done.

( My yearly Christmas Season begins with Christmas Revel... )
( And there's After-Revel Revel... )

( Then I go to the lake house )

( And then long journey home again... )

And that was my holiday, pretty good overall.  Look for a few more longish posts in the near future: especially the 2013 To-Do wrap-up and the 2014 To-Do Post.  I’m hoping to get a few other posts done as well, since I’ve got the time and energy while work gains speed again.

-bs, wishing everyone a happy new year!

( Notes upon the post )

so i think i've found the *awesomest* news ever today:

scientists discover the Romulan cloaking device...

no kidding, i was just sitting there for 5min this morning going 'that is *so* awesome!'

and then i went downstairs to the training room and froze my tushie off with 11 other co-workers and  a trainer.  we nickname that place 'the meatlocker' at work, brrrr.

went to the Y today, did 5 min on the ex. bike, lungs felt like that was enough, and came down to the car to put things away.  spent a frantic couple of minutes trying desperately to find my keys, and just when i looked up to pull down the trunk so i could head back upstairs to report 'em lost - i saw them hanging from the keylock in the trunk.  there are some def. disadvantages to this workout thing.  i swear i've been sans head ever since i've started.  it's kind of amazing i'm still breathing.

the order for my new crockpot was confirmed - yay!  i'm still waiting on the huge-ass order i placed with ABCStitch and the rest of the lame to come through - boo.  i really want my stash enhancement experience, please...
