No, really, I have not been whisked off into the WP nor have I drifted off into a holiday-food-induced coma (thought I came close to one of those scenarios). Like you, I am sure, I’ve been in a whirlwind of family visits, holiday obligations, and stuffed in a car traveling thousands of miles visiting relatives with small children screaming “I WANT OUT!” and “NO! You are NOT a monkey, Mommy doesn’t LET monkeys in the car! Stop being a monkey NOW!”
I am a woman of many hats, and will soon will be tossing one of those hats off the pile after this week (a part-time job as a systems administrator), so please bear with me a few more days and then I promise (no, RESOLVE, it is time for resolutions!) to be a much more consistent blogger.
Plus… I really do have pictures and the recipe for peppermint bark coming up… it’s still great to have in January! : )
