Remember the Alamo!

Dear Internets,

Achilles and I are headed to San Antonio to celebrate the New Year. [Christmas newsletter interlude: I can't believe it's almost 2009!! 2008 was quite a year for the Distractible family!] We're going to hang out with one of A's law school friends and walk around the Riverwalk like the tourists we are. Hooray tourism.



What about you, Internets? Any exciting plans/resolutions/non-resolutions for tonight and beyond?

Love always,
Jane

Early resolutions

Dear blog reading list that I have been neglecting,

If I promise never to ignore you again, will you magically disappear?

Love,
Jane

P.S. Just kidding, Internets. I love your blogs, and am slowly catching up on my blog reading. I am hopeless without the built-in structure of work to schedule out my days, but I'm trying. I hope you're having a wonderful break. XOXOXO

New! Now with more falling down!

Dear Internets,

I am still alive. Here are some things I have learned over the holidays so far:

• Playing your brother-in-law's Wii for several hours may lead to crippling back pain
• Falling down a flight of stairs can worsen said back pain
• It is not a good idea to talk to someone over your shoulder while walking down a flight of stairs
• Hosting house guests, while fun, can make it difficult to get much blogging done

What have you learned so far over the holidays, Internets?

Love,
Jane

I am a silly goat

Dear Internets,

You know I love bullet points, especially when I'm feeling extra distracted. Things that are keeping my mind occupied today:

• Whether or not I should start another blog (I have a good idea, but 2 blogs + 2 jobs = too much?)
• My two week vacation that starts in a few hours (that I don't have to use vacation days for! SCORE!)
• How much I love the "chocolate milk bath" I made for Christmas presents this year (it smells like you're swimming in hot cocoa)*
• How amazing my 2 1/2 year-old nephew's communication skills are, even if he sometimes uses those skills to communicate that he doesn't especially want Aunt Jane around that much
• What I should pack for my weekend mini-vacation
• How lucky I am to have such awesome friends and family
• How I wish I had taken better pictures of my friend Lyn's Christmas gifts
• How excited I am to have TWO WEEKS OFF! I seriously want to jump around and sing and dance. And I'm not exactly the world's bounciest person.
• How awesome it is to hang out with other bloggers and find out that they are as awesome in person as they are on their blogs.
• How weird it is that one of the top Google search terms leading people to my blog this month was "meth." Sorry dears, but I do not have drugs here.
  

I hope your Friday is going as well as mine, Internets. Have a wonderful weekend!

Love,
Jane

*If I could figure out a way to send the chocolate milk bath in the mail without it breaking and getting everywhere, I would send some to you, Internets.** It's HEAVENLY.
**Seriously... I am open to suggestions.
