winter break update

I've been savoring winter break. 
Lots of time to relax. And sleep. 
For example, last night I slept for 12 hours. 
NBD. 
Here's a peek at what I've been up to: 
  

I spent Christmas at my parents' house. 

Above are 1) the tree 2) a dessert I made 

3) Spencer by the fire 4) enjoying my gifts and coffee 

It was a very laid back eve and day. Pretty perfect. 

This is my little sister and I on a bus heading to go ice skating last weekend. 

I also took her to see the King Tut exhibit yesterday. 

Most of my time has been spent at home, as pictured above
1) Dean is a drooler 2) homework galore 
3) redecorating post-holiday 
4) both cats sleeping on me while I read 

I finished reading The Hobbit on Wednesday and 
saw the movie with Kelly today. 
(Cross that off the 28 before 29 list!) 
I LOVED it. Can't wait for parts 2 and 3! 

As much as I'm not looking forward 
to returning to work in a few short days, 
I'm really excited that Joe gets home tomorrow! 
He's been gone for a week. 
No homework left and the house is almost clean, 
so it's time to live it up for the last few days!
