Day 7 of Winter Break and I haven’t done much of anything and it feels pretty darn good. Ok, that’s not entirely true. I’ve done plenty of things however, just not much of my usual day-to-day activities. Obviously, one thing I haven’t done much of is blogging. Turning on my computer hasn’t seemed all that important this week. But after seven days, some thoughts that have been rattling around in my brain needed to be put into words…
One of the hazards of having an entire week off from work is that I completely lost track of the days this week. I had RSVP’d to a going away party on Tuesday. It wasn’t until I got a text message from the hostess asking if I was lost and needed directions to her house that I realized that I totally forgot what day it was and missed the party.

While driving home from a “Winter Solstice” party last Thursday night, A and G sang Feliz Navidad with fake Russian accents.

There is so much glitter in our house at the moment. Most of it seems to be coming from the glitterized gift boxes in the Harry & David Tower of Treats we received.
Me: Is glitter considered a bio hazard?
S: No, why?
Me: I think I just ate some.
S: I believe it might have some anti-bacterial properties.

In a moment of whimsy, I bought G-Man a kazoo as a stocking stuffer. Ever hear Smoke on the Water played on a kazoo?

I received an enameled, cast iron, Le Creuset Dutch oven for Christmas. Is it wrong to be so excited about a cooking pot? I made the most amazing chicken smothered in onions the other night. My new pot is awesome! To make it even more fabulous… it’s aubergine!

Wednesday we went to Mote Marine Aquarium to see the South African penguins that are wintering in Florida. They are cute little guys (and one girl). You can see them too on their live webcam.

Ok, after reading this I realize that my week hasn't been terribly exciting or news worthy. Oh well, I'm enjoying myself and that's all that really matters, right?
