The New Year

So, I had a blog years ago before blogs were "the thing" to have! But it was from my college years and since I didn't want to erase it, I started a new one. I enjoy reading blogs that my friends write, so I thought it was time to re-start my own. I'm sure that I won't be as loyal at updating or as creative as my fellow bloggers are, but I will try my best. Plus I will need to get used to this new way of writing where you just use people's first initials instead of their names, for safety reasons and all! It didn't used to be that way!

Last night the husband (B) and I (E) decided to stay in for New Year's Eve. It's not worth the risk of going out and trying to make it home safe and sound! Plus we thought it would be a lot cheaper to just stay home, fix crab legs, and have our own beverages. Let's just say that between naps we woke up in time to see the ball drop and head to bed! When did we get so old!?!?

The holidays are now over and it's almost time to go back to work. The spring semester always seems to take forever because #1- it IS longer and #2- there just aren't as many breaks throughout the semester as there are first semester. However, I can't believe I'm through 1/2 a school year already.

This Christmas break was not the best. I've been sick the entire break. I mean coughing until I thought I would die sick. And of course, since break is almost over, I'm almost over my cough as well. Christmas Eve was spent with the husband's family doing the usual gift exchange and Christmas caroling. Christmas day we woke up early (well I was up at 3 a.m. coughing and the husband got up at 5:30 a.m.) and opened gifts. We then went to see B's mother who is in a nursing home and gave her Christmas gifts to her. At noon we spent lunch and gift exchange time with my extended family. Then we headed to my parents' house to open gifts, drink wine, and snack on some more food. My mom, as usual, went overboard on Christmas gifts for us! (Not that I'm complaining!! As most of you know, I'm a tad spoiled!)

Well, I'll write more later about...whatever, but for now I'm going to have to end my first blog entry!
