The last week of the year...
December 31, 2006 at 14:11 I made an awesome turkey dinner
Forgot to make the stuffing
Wore my pajamas more than my clothes
Slept for more than 9 hours at a stretch
Did some yoga
Ignored a jigsaw puzzle
Cruised the blogosphere
Burned lots of candles
Baked a pan of brownies while the kids went ice skating
Wore a ruffley scarf with my jacket
Visited the Christmas market in Brussels
Supervised the writing of thank you notes
Watched old episodes of the Gilmore Girls wrapped in an oversized silky fleece bathrobe
Drank countless cups of tea
Saw White Christmas for the first time
Read a little poetry
Used earplugs to drown out the howling of the wind
Laughed over The Full Monty
Put more than a year's worth of photos into albums
Marveled over all the places we've visited
Laid down with my daughter at bedtime
Stamped a selection of birthday cards
Made a wish list of art supplies--and ordered a few online
Went to the movies for the first time in almost two years
Listened to the kids argue over Monopoly
Pretended to be interested in what level my son had achieved on his Game Boy
Refused to read anything about Saddam
Made pork chops with curried pineapple
Ordered discounted merchandise for the kiddos from LL Bean, Lands End, and Hanna Andersson
Wondered how Patty, Lynn, Vicky, Sherry, and Jan were doing
Answered questions on scrapbooking for an article that will appear in an Australian magazine
Re-read all the Christmas cards
Did at least one load of laundry a day
Played with the ever-adorable Petey the Kitten
Took several walks in the woods with the fam
Attended church twice
Prayed for friends in tough circumstances
Prayed for strangers
Counted my blessings
Decided 2006 was a year to celebrate
And prepared to welcome 2007
Blessings to you and yours in the New Year
Thanks for reading my nerdy blog.
