New Year, Old Me

I considered writing over the holiday break (I was back in PA for two weeks), but I would have just said "food-family-more food".  It wasn't a bad break, although it would have been better if tiny-penised men with big trucks would learn to drive.  A chunk of my family, including my 91 year old grandmother, were driving to Pittsburgh in my Mom's van when a huge front-grilled Dodge Ram 2500 pushed a beautiful Lexus into the back of the van.  We had stopped fairly quickly, but the Lexus behind us had stopped as well (I know, because after being hit a few years ago I've developed a habit of looking behind me).  My seat didn't have head rest, so I ended up with minor whiplash and a sore neck and back for the holiday.  I also had daily trips to Greensburg to see a chiropractor, which allowed me wonderful opportunities to accumulate family errands as well.

We flew back to London on the last days of 2009 and had a nice peaceful New Year's day with James's family.  Returning to our flat was one of the best parts of the holidays.  It was hold, but felt so peaceful and homey.  :-)

I'm so bad at blogging.  Since starting this post, I've stopped to grab white chocolate mints, experiment with Windows 7 GodMode, play with #uksnow, watch bits of Narnia, IMDB Tilda Swinton...

Love always,
