Christmas break could not have come at a better time for me. Break was:

• Playing in the snow
• Arts and Crafts shows, and a new favorite kitty shirt
• A McNellie’s bullseye
• LOTS of sleep
• Three toothbrushes in three days (One lost to a stranger using it (who does that?!) and another used as a key to escape our bathroom…ick)
• Old friends in new settings
• Realizing how many good friends I have made that are not from Tulsa (who I missed terribly over break)
• Singing the music of Charlotte’s Web until my sister was forced to sing along
• Trying to make myself eat again (and failing most of the time)
• Lots of cleaning and recycling, and recleaning and more recycling
• J’Amie, Private School Girl
• Stolen credit card(s) and investigative reporting
• Shopping until I almost dropped in OKC
• Almost a week in Dallas organizing an apartment and thinking about how to better organize my life
• New Years and new bruises
• disappointments from people I didn’t expect and discoveries in places I didn’t know
• A few too many 4 a.m. bedtimes
• The Great Mouse Detective
• brewery tours at Marshall’s and Prairie
• Christmas parties here, there and everywhere
• Going out dressed as an angel (my truest form, obviously)
• A much needed break

I hope your break was everything you hoped and more. Mine definitely was.
