Baby New Year

"You mean Bush is STILL in office? Let's get on with this thing, shall we?!" 

Happy New Year, everyone! Tonight we go to a kid-friendly soiree from which we'll probably be home by 9. Tomorrow, we'll definitely be eating our black-eyed peas for luck and collard greens for money, because, like everyone else, we could use some of both! 

Despite the economic catastrophe, I can't talk the same smack about 2008 that everyone else is because our dear Plum joined us in 2008. So for me, it was a very good year. But like most, I'm eagerly looking forward to a Barackariffic 2009, hopefully full of health, happiness, and lots of good YA novels. (I find lately I crave sleep a little less and the time to curl up with a great YA a little more. Which perhaps means I've officially left the newborn trenches?) 

All the best. Hopefully you'll see more blogging from me in the new year. I'm gearing up for a return to work. Yahoo!
