I've never been a bah hum bug...I LOVE Christmas. I LOVE decorating, having people over, cooking. These year is somewhere in between happiness and sadness. I want to enjoy it but I also want it to be over with! I'm probably fooling myself, but I figure if I can just get January 6th over and done with, it might help close this first year after my dad's death and get me a bit further down the road. I guess we'll see.
Wil returned to work today!!!!!!!!! This is good news bc now he will be returning to regular pay. Still have to see about the ACL, but this is a step in the right direction for now.
Cookie party came and went and I have so many good cookies in my freezer! Which will come in handy for xmas and new years eve. Thanks to those of you who made it! Next year will be better...since we'll be settled in and hopefully life will be a bit mroe calm.
My sister and her family is coming up from El Paso this weekend and spending xmas eve with us. It will eb a few short days, but I am SOOOOO excited to see her and spend time with the niece I don't get to see. Let the spoiling begin!
I am so exhausted these days bc work has been BUSY long days. But the good news is that I am also sleeping better than ever =) Wil and I agree...the new place, although more rent, is so relaxing. We feel so peaceful and settled and happy here. Gosh, I just feel so blessed to be here and am so looking forward to having lots o' people over. Want to come over? Let me know!
Tonight begins my tour of duty in terms of making my favorite norse goodies...lefse, krumkake...mmmm....couldn't have christmas without it...my mom made a killing this season selling her goods (haha, lefse you dirty minds!)...for any of you who have it it looks like a tortilla (made of potato) but is a much more involved process to create. In the north country people know it and love it...they sell it in the grocery stores too...but homemade can sell for $15-20 per dozen!!! It's potato gold. So since it's less common down here, we just need to find some scandinavians who have a hankering for lefse and make some extra cash...if you know anyone interested, my mom is looking to cook up a storm next holiday season! Any she only charges $12/dozen!

Thanks again for hosting the cookie party. I will never again here those words without thinking them melodically in the Sarah Silverman voice! "Cookieeee, parrrrteeeee."
Even more thanks for your thesis, um I mean comment, on my blog. You totally rock! Looking forward to New Year's Eve....
OMG! I typed "here" instead of "hear." I suck! This is what working 10 hour days will do. =(
And there was another bloody typo, so I deleted the prior comment. I'll be the first to admit my grammar nazi-ism.
DUDE!! I know someone who will pay for your mom's goods..oh, umm.. i mean lefse.
MMM *drool* I love those crazy norse goodies that you brought to BBBS a lOooong time ago.
