5 reasons why leaving Boston is awesome!

Pros!

1) Blizzard!

2) Florida sunshine in December might not be the warmest, but the contrast to here more than makes up for that.

3) Avatar! Movies and dinner dates out! Free babysitting from family is a rare and wonderful thing.

4) Getting to leave the house without some big production. Unless going to the beach and then it is worth it.

5) Having family fawn all over Alex.

Cons!

1) Having a six am flight and having to get up by four am with a sleepy and most likely grumpy toddler.

2) Packing is never fun.

3) Cleaning the house.

4) No more green smoothies in the morning. Vitamix doesn't travel well and I don't think the stick blender will cut it.

5) Wasting my membership to the Gym. But I think there is one that I can use at my Grandmother's complex. Actually using it is another story.

As you can see the pros far out way the cons! We're not bringing the laptop and will have limited internet access, mostly from our phones. See you next year! Hope everybody has a great holiday and New Years!

Officially Old!

Thanks blee. It happened, I just got back from asking our downstairs neighbor to turn their music down. They are having a karaoke new years party and it was loud. It isn't just because she is sleeping but I don't want loud music in general. I well on my way to becoming an old far. When the ball drops I hope to be asleep. I have no interest in celebrating or drinking. The last time I had a glass of wine I got a headache and champagne always went to my head.

Other than a brunch tomorrow we have no plans.

I have been doing a lot of art lately. I had a super productive couple of days a couple of days ago. That left me feeling very spent, hungover feeling actually. I have so much new work I haven't even come close to even scanning it all in. Much less uploading and listing it on Etsy. I just don't feel like doing much right now.



No actual resolutions for next year but I am hoping that I can be more positive as I have been feeling quite negative this year. It is a feeling that I want to fight.

Now to watch a sneak preview of the first episode of the new season of The Wire a week early. Then get ready for bed.

Happy New Year! Throw one back for me if you wish since I don't think I will be partying for a very long time.
