those airport posts don't write themselves
Slumping up to our bedroom at a ridiculously early hour the other night (we abandoned the living room at 7:15 so that Youngest could use the wii) I happened to mention that I didn't have any posts waiting in draft for the upcoming week.
I'm thinking you need some emotional content in your blog right about now, said my beloved K.
I mean, the peppermint bark post is fine, but you need something with some depth, he continued.
And that, my friends, is when I reminded him that it's not all peppermint bark around here.
The thing is, it's been one hell of a year out here in Tuvalu. I'm not going into the details, but I think we all must realize that I will be very happy to use the arbitrary date of January first as a fresh start.
I'd like to not have the worry of work hanging over my husband.
I'd like to keep Youngest stable and happy.
I'm planning on diving head first into researching the best university for Middle, and I'll need to keep my wits about me while Oldest works toward being independent again.
So, there you are. A list of goals for the new year.
I'm also researching recipes for home made peppermint bark.
Because, sometimes, it is all peppermint bark around here.

P.S. Come to think of it, I do too.
Best Wishes to you all in 2008
Here's to fresh starts!
I'll need to spend the next day or so composing my lists for '08. And we don't have very long to put another year to bed.
Here's to a good and queit year all around dear bb...
You have had quite a year. 2008 will be The Year of No Bad Surprises, I feel it in my bones.
Your husband is sweet to care about your blog...he must realize its' value.

If he asks tell him something emotional! hehe
It's incredibly easy to make. It should take almost no effort and little time, but one hint is to buy the alcohol free peppermint flavoring from Trader Joes. It does make a difference!
Should I send you some?
Many of your desires for the new year are similar to mine. We've actually had a terrible year too, so I'm gonna drink to us BOTH having a better, more prosperous, healthier year. Cheers!
