On the 9th Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…a blog post, apparently! Wow, I did not mean to go silent on everyone, thank you so much for your kind Christmas and New Year’s wishes! We had a wonderful feast and are so far enjoying the New Year! It is my brother’s birthday today and my boss’ too, Happy Birthday to Both!

Nine things about the past nine days:

Eddie got me a cute pair of boots (did I predict that or what, Molly?) at my new favorite online store.

Cedric bought gifts for all of us with his own money – pretty cool, huh. So, Bath and Body Works lovers – what do I use my gift card on?

I heard an interesting piece on BirdNote about the first seven Days of Christmas being about birds. While it was fascinating, I certainly hope my true love doesn’t buy me a bird (or seven), I love to see them outside, but inside birds kind of creep me out.

We went to a lovely New Year’s Party yesterday at the Mousethief residence. I love that Mrs. Mousethief makes vegetarian Black Eyed Peas so I can have good luck, and we played Boggle with Lizzie and Mousethief and had a great time (although my score was like six)

While standing at Midnight Liturgy on Christmas, I was contemplating binding my Festal service books with my new Bind-It-All (thanks, Mom!)

Xavier didn’t see the bike we got him for the Nativity, even though it was sitting under the tree. And, since it stayed in my office for a couple of weeks prior – did you know that bikes have a smell like a new car smell?

The DQ Blizzard of the month for December is lovely. Yum.

I read 90 books in 2007. I suspect my 2008 total will be less, though, because I’m planning on reading War and Peace which I think will take me awhile.

I put my elbow in peanut butter at the Co-op the other day, and told Eddie that it was ok that my coat was at the cleaners because it should be warm. It has snowed two days since then. I pick it up tonight – on a warm, rainy day!

May 2008 be full of love, peace and blessings!
