Remember Christmas? It was only 10 days ago, after all. But for some reason (and I’ve only been back at school for 2 days) it seems like a lifetime ago. Going from vacation to work again is like whiplash. So let’s go back a couple weeks ago, when I was in North Carolina wearing a [...]
It’s hard to believe that it was a full 12 months ago when I first listed these goals on Relishments. 2011 was a great year but, as far as these Goals in Progress posts are concerned, I’m glad its over. Posting my goals list and updating my progress monthly kept me from forgetting my resolutions [...]
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. – Isaiah 9:6
It’s hard to believe that a week from today most of the Christmas festivities will be over. I feel like this season has been both long and short at the same time and I really wish time would stop for awhile so I could come close to catching up with all of the things that [...]
Another sign that Christmas is on the horizon? I’ve got cookies on the brain. It just occurred to me that I don’t have any cookie swaps on my calendar this year and I had such a good time at the 2 I attended last year that I think I’m going to host one in January [...]
As Christmas gets increasingly close (15 days?!), I’m finding that I have increasingly less time to accomplish the things I need to. That, and the list of things I need to accomplish keeps getting longer. It’s really not fair. However, I’ve made plenty of time to listen to Christmas music, as I can listen while [...]
Last week’s highlights contained links to a number of gift guides. Since then even more have appeared in my Reader and, even though I really need to stop spending money, I’ve really enjoyed reading them. There are some really neat ideas out there! But the ideas that are even more interesting to me are all [...]
Brian and I spent the holiday weekend in Maine. We enjoyed a simple but delicious Thanksgiving feast on Thursday consisting of my family’s standards: turkey, gravy, sausage stuffing, rolls, baked sweet potatoes, pickles, olives, gravy and canned cranberry sauce. From time to time, I think about trying out new Thanksgiving recipes, but it’d have to [...]
I am a chronically and perhaps annoyingly early Christmas shopper. Since we alternate spending Christmas and Thanksgiving which each set of parents, Brian and I usually have everyone’s shopping almost done by Thanksgiving so we can bring them with us when we visit (we opened presents with my parents on Saturday night). Nevertheless, I get [...]
