It Takes A Lot Of Work To Be This Awesome

Posted on December 23rd, 2007 in Are You Gonna Eat That?, Does All Her Own Stunts

In all the chaos since Wednesday, I haven’t had the time or inclination to blog. Now I find myself in the midst of Christmas dinner preparation (yes it really does start days before) and there still isn’t time or energy for writing. There are pies to bake, veggies to slice, bread to crumble and dry for stuffing. I have egg nog and rum, and homemade drinking chocolate (totally from scratch) for this evening, in the hopes that Jack and I can kick back and relax.

The Ice Cuvee is chilling for our Christmas Eve night. I have bacon-wrapped scallops, shrimp, and a salmon ring for snacking. Fresh bruschetta and slices of baguette, and lets not forget the Christmas cookies, topped with red and green sanding sugar.

We are certainly looking forward to opening gifts with the young ones on Christmas morning. They are getting a bit spoiled this year, but I don’t feel guilty about it because they have gone thought a lot since last Christmas with the move and all.

I’ve been pet sitting for Nia, which is a load of good fun. Her pets are all quite charming in their own way, and it’s almost like having animals of my own when I get to look after hers. The kids enjoy going over with me to feed and water them all, and most of the furry critters have no objections to the extra attention.

Tonight I would like to have a bath before bed, maybe read a bit and drink some tea.

Blogging will remain slow and sporadic for the next week or so. I have some great Dear Shasta segments coming up (keep sending those questions!) and some cool new product reviews. Lots of great things for kicking off 2008, and stay tuned for another big contest announcement at the beginning of January here. If you have a camera, you’ll be able to participate, to give you a bit of a hint.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
