Look! An Early Finish

Who could've guessed that I'd finish something on the second day of the new year? Not me! The proof is in the pic, so take a look. I'd like to introduce you to Matilda Harrison, and you'll notice that her name has been altered on my list. Yahoo! Some of you are saying, "Simple minds, simply entertained." I can handle that, because in my world, that is a compliment.

That was the good news. The bad news is that this hateful new (to me) tonsilitis/laryngitis bug is a bitch to get rid of. Even with the use of bacteria-killing drugs and vodka, it's been making me a sad sack since Monday. After finally sleeping hours at a time, today is a better day. My voice still doesn't sound like my voice (good or bad news, depending on who you are), but it's getting there. School starts again this Monday, so I have to be ready, with voice intact, to entertain my little friends.

At the risk of sounding like a sap (you know, it takes one to know one), blogland has been so much fun this week. Every blog I read leads me to other blogs that are incredible. I've discovered so many new ideas and projects and outlooks. OK, no more blathering about blogland.

Tomorrow is the last day of my vacation (huge sigh). I love time off. More specifically, I love unscheduled time. It's a gift that I appreciate more as I get older.
