let's party.

It's a wrap. The semester, that is. Whoa baby. I can take a deep breath without that paper or reading assignment lingering in the back of my mind. And boy, does it feel good. Hip hip for a 3-week holiday.

Friday I spent the day with my mom, sister, and 3 of my favorite tinies. Did some stocking shopping for Danny, and even got to pick out some stuff for my own. (My mom finally gave in and has cancelled the no-more-stockings-once-you're-married rule. Hooray...especially considering the one tube of mascara I use all year comes from that little holiday tradition.) Then D & I went to Disneyland, which turned out not to be the best decision considering the rest of the world was there to use the last day of their pass, too. Stayed up until 1 am. That hasn't happened since we wed. Passed out as soon as we got home. We're such grown-ups.

Saturday I replaced my desk printer with my sewing machine and got started on Project Apron. There is nothing more soothing than the sound of fabric running through that machine. Tick, tick, tick, tick. Ahhh...music to my ears. Then we watched 4 Lost episodes to refresh our minds for the next season. Did y'all know season 5 is available on Netflix Watch Instantly? What better time than Christmas break to sit in front of the tv laptop for 3 hours.

Yesterday was church. Also did a little grocery shopping, which is one of my favorite things about Sunday. Then, went off to a little photo shoot with 2 of the best looking siblings I've evern seen. Came home, finished Project Apron, uploaded the pictures, finally broke down and tried that Chinese take out on the corner (success), watched a movie & called it a weekend.

Now it's the start of the week. Dan's fixed gear bike got stolen and I have another one of these.

But nothing can take away from what this week is all about.

Welcome to birthday week, everyone. Let's party.
