Wholly Dazed
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from your friendly Hallmark Christian*!!
This holiday season has been filled with family, friends, and finally in the North East, SNOW!!!
My Runner and I broke out the snowshoes this past Monday to give them a whirl. I huffed and puffed through the 2-ish miles in the woods. We were (ok, mostly he was) breaking trail. The wind was still gusting a lot and the trees creaked and cracked above us. It was great!
Pops came up for Christmas as usual and came up (pre-snow) to My Runner's house and for a trail run in the woods. I spent some time with my Grammy, Great Aunt, and Aunt for lunch on Christmas Day, and was able to put in a significant visit to my mother's large family for dinner. Back to work for a few days this week, but it's nice and quiet with most people on vacation.
My Runner has put together a few posts of a year in review, along with a spectacular slideshow. It's inspired me to actually take some time to look back on my year, highlight the high points, ruminate on the lessons learned, and set goals for the new year. I'll do this throughout the month of January and over several posts.
I've also been putting off research for the next car on my list: the Ford Fiesta. A cursory search says it's a good car that's well reviewed, but my brand perception of Ford is giving me researchers-block. I might just skip it for now and head on down to the Nissan Versa & Cube....
If you're at work, I hope I've sufficiently distracted you for a few minutes (and playing on JibJab is totally fun). If you're on vacation, get off this damned machine and go play!!
*Hallmark Christianity is a phrase I created to describe those that have a Christian heritage, and maybe were baptized once upon a time, but NEVER go to church- not even at Christmas or Easter. These folks DO celebrate Christmas and to a certain extent Easter, but in the most superficial and consumer-based way, embodied by the Hallmark Greeting Card.
