 realized how MUCH I depend on the internet. I mean, sure, there’s this site, obviously, but even the little things. My recipes are almost all online. I couldn’t get to new recipes I wanted to try for the holidays, or even old ones. I had to wing *everything*. Thank God I kind of know what I’m doing or I would have been screwed. This year was my turn to host *every* *single* *holiday* *meal*. I’m not complaining about that part, but jaaaayzuz. I had no time to breathe, let alone make up recipes, and set up photo shoots. I also did *all* the holiday shopping, *all* the wrapping and still kept my kids and house under wraps. Mostly. (What? I’m not freaking superwoman! lmfao) Ok, I didn’t lose any of my kids and–AND–my house did not collapse onto itself. Victory. Also? I am a youtube junkie. I listen to music on there ALL the time. We use the net for the kids’ homework, so some of my daughter’s stuff had to be done elsewhere.

So, anything positive from the experience? Well, that depends. I think I spent roughly $9000 at the bookstore. They love me now. They said thanks for the vacation to the Greek islands. So, they’re happy about it, I guess. I have caught up on a bunch of books that I wanted to read. I actually *did* play lots of board games with the kids (and bunches of Wii, too). Also, I didn’t realize how much entertaining I was capable of. Apart from Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve and King’s Day, we also had several impromptu family get togethers. No one was hurt! (except a few champagne glasses on New Years)

I’m hoping to get back into the swing soon–The kids just went back to school yesterday, but next week? I am going to dust off my camera and start cooking up a veritable storm of non holiday food stuffs.

Thanks for sticking by me, even when I wasn’t here. Love you, readers!! XOXO

realized how MUCH I depend on the internet. I mean, sure, there ’s this site, obviously, but even the short thing. My recipes are almost all online. I could n’t get to raw recipes I wanted to hear for the holiday, or even old one. I had to wing * everything *. Thank God I kind of sleep together what I ’m doing or I would have been screwed. This class was my turn to host * every * * single * * holiday * * meal *. I ’m not complaining about that part, but jaaaayzuz. I had no clock time to breathe, let alone hold up recipes, and set up photo shoot. I also did * all * the holiday shopping, * all * the wrapping and still keep my kids and house under wraps. Mostly. (What? I ’m not freaking superwoman! lmfao) very well, I did n’t misplace any of my kids and – AND – my house did not collapse onto itself. Victory. Also? I am a youtube junkie. I listen to music on there ALL the time. We use the net for the child ’ homework, so some of my daughter ’s stuff had to be do elsewhere. 

 therefore, anything positive from the experience? Well, that depends. I think I spend roughly $ 9000 at the bookstore. They love me now. They say thanks for the vacation to the Greek islands. So, they ’re happy about it, I guess. I have caught up on a bunch of record that I wanted to read. I actually * did * play lots of board games with the kid (and bunches of Wii, too). Also, I did n’t realize how much entertaining I was capable of. aside from Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve and King ’s Day, we also had several impromptu family get togethers. No one was hurt! (except a few champagne glasses on New Years) 

 I ’m hop to get back into the swing soon – The kids just went back to school yesterday, but following week? I am run low to dust off my television camera and start cooking up a veritable storm of non vacation food stuffs.
