Back to "real life"

Overall, the holidays weren't too bad, despite my Grinch-ly leanings. The best part for me was probably the break from the routine, doing new and different things. But now I will admit that I'm looking forward to getting some structure back into my life again. Although I'm not nearly as much of a "planner" as my husband, I will admit that there is more than a little comfort for me in a routine of some sort...even if it is a loose one. I'm ready to get settled in again.

Winter is always my worst time of year. I hate it. I hate the snow, I hate being cold. I hate dressing in layers. I hate shoveling. I can't really say that there's anything I like about winter at all. Yeah, I know - I'm Canadian - which means I need to just "suck it up" and deal with it. Whatever. At least I can have the fun of bitching about it.
