• i can't wait for our 1st annual gingerbread making party on saturday afternoon.
  
• elliott and i will be decorating while "da-da" is gone. but it probably won't be a surprise since he reads my blog.
• i am tired.
• i am ready for winter break.
• my throat is sore.
• life is too much for me sometimes.
• i am so aware that it is "much more too much" for others far more often than for myself.

hope you are all well my dears.
