Christmas 2013 hath come and gone and I'm sad.  In the weeks to come, decorations will come down (my house won't look as festive and cheerful) and the winter yuckies will set in.  Since winter came earlier than usual this year, I have a sneaking suspicion that it will linger WAY into April.  Let's clarify:  I lerv winter and snow and cold..... but I don't love it at the end of March.

Beau didn't really get a handle on Santa Claus, so maybe next year he will grasp the concept.  I can confirm however, that he LOVES sparkles and all things that fill the holiday shelves at Hobby Lobby.  The sparklier the better.  Look out Liberace.


New Years resolutions:  Make them?  Does a clean slate really exist at the turn of the calendar?  Perhaps I should renew the yearly vow to stop swearing.  I usually fail within 2 hours.  I have succeeded in 2 resolutions....... I stopped biting my nails and drinking pop; two very difficult habits.

We find out what we are having on January 2nd.  That day can't come fast enough.  Girl?  Boy?  NO CLUE.
