p.s. Happy Day after Christmas

Well, the poor 26th of December doesn't get much recognition -- just some post-Christmas grumpiness. So, Mr. 12/26, I wanted to let you know I had a great morning of writing (placing my cup on my spiffy new owl coaster Julie got me), and that I'm excited about the upcoming new year. And, again, so perfect to spend the day yesterday with Mom, Ben, Carol, Matt, Julie, Martha, Andy, Karla, and Steve. I feel warmed -- literally -- by my new owl and pink doll lamps. And I loved chatting with Jordan, Aaron, and Stephenie over Skype and getting to see their reactions as they opened their presents....

Hugs.
