Freakishly Happy

Hi all!

I hope that everyone had a very happy and merry holiday season! And that not too many lumps of coal were doled out this year by St. Nick.

My hours at the store have been scaled back as we prepare to start working on the bus, but unfortunately John's project is taking longer than it should, so I've got a lot of free time on my hands (not that I'm complaining). I've been doing a lot of knitting projects, my niece Hannah being the main benefactress of my work. I've also been reading, hanging out with friends, playing with the dogs, and trying to keep Jorgi from torturing the cat. You know, the hard life. ;p

In comparison, Johnny is still slaving away. He actually decided last Wednesday to go back to Iowa for the remainder of his project- and left the very next morning. He'll be gone until the 17th of January, and hopefully at that point it will be F I N I S H E D! Right now talking to him is a little difficult. He just kind of rambles randomly about engineering concepts that I haven't got a clue about. From the sounds of it his brain is fried.

Luckily for Christmas John got me an amazing weekend get away. Right after he returns, we'll be heading for New Hampshire for a few days at B&Bs. He set everything up, including finding us places to ski and snowshoe, several great restaurants and shops and even an Ani DiFranco concert. I have a rock star for a husband. Hopefully it will allow his brain some relaxation time.

Again, I hope that everyone has a great new year!
