New Year’s Eve and Day feel like blur now. Guests have traveled back home, and the house is empty. It’s been a party for almost two weeks! Kids are back in school, husband is back at work, and in a sense, so am I.

Random thoughts to start the year…

• The garlic didn’t get in the ground before the cold snap. I wonder if I can just plant them in planters to have them outside?
• As much as I complain about laundry, there’s something about washing all the linens and blankets from the holidays and folding dry, clean sheets, and putting away fluffy comforters and towels that makes me happy.
• Anyone catch the start of the Oprah Winfrey Network?
• I’m happy my fabric hoarding days are in the past… there are some fun projects to be had this year, and some projects yet to be finished from last year.
• Lots of great things happening with Craft Critique and Niles Patch! I’m happy to be a part of it.
• Not looking forward to taking all the Christmas decorations down. The house always looks so bare.
• My son has drained all the make-believe playing out of me with his unlimited energy and love of superheroes. I have now been cast as Scarlet Witch, Batgirl and sometimes mom of Silver Surfer.

I am looking forward to continuing this journal and journey with all you virtual and real friends! Thanks to all the new Blog Frog friends, too!
