I swear Isaac has outgrown everything he owned 6 months ago. I took 4 bags of old clothes in a couple weeks ago and I have almost another whole bag ready. Plus a bag of nice clothes in good shape for Noah and Grace.

Free from the family. So many times I almost got in the car to start driving back home. Lil'bro was extra annoying, prolly due to older bro being there 24/7, or at least that's my excuse for him adding to the usual ribbing with "when are you going home?". "Now" I wanted to say each time. Bickering over stupid shit like whether the effort of putting the spinach leaves and romaine lettuce into the salad bowl was worth the effort over just nabbing the leaves out of the plastic container, from the dude who doesn't even eat salad.
I just really, really hate my brothers right now, older brother especially, but lil'bro was edging up there with his irritation leaking all over the place. And every fun moment I had with lil'bro was spoiled by big bro hovering about looking left out and just drinking in between AA meetings. Way to make a life change there, dude. Sorry, no sympathy for him moping about his lost love as he does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to fix his relationship with her, starting with fixing himself.
Worst Christmas ever (except for how my dad volunteered to do the dishes multiple times without being prompted. Mom's decades of nagging has finally paid off).

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Our friend E is visiting for a week, as he does every year. He and Jason just spent an hour putting big hooks in the wall of our room so E can hookup his travel hammock. Yes, hammock! He sleeps in one at home in his big NYC studio apt (which has a fancy murphy bed). Apparently he slept in one on a vacation and discovered he just sleeps a million times better than on a flat beds.
We have a hammock in the gust room! So cool!

And now you will be hammock-ready for future guests. Nice!

Sorry for disappearing, had to eat dinner. Um, we may be heading out of town Monday or Tuesday. And then I have work to do on Liz's apartment on Friday when I get back. So, um, sometime between Saturday the 4th and Tues the 7th? Do those days work?

6 people is better than no people, msbelle!
I wish people would stop asking me if I have plans for NYE and my birthday. They look at me in befuddled disappointment when I say that I have plans to stay in my pajamas, drink some Prosecco, and catch up on movies & TV.

Those must be heavy-duty hooks in the walls--do you have to put them in the studs? I would love a hammock...
