Happy New Year!

I passed out somewhere around 9:00 last night. No, booze was not involved. My husband kept waking me up, we were watching a movie and I'm pretty sure I was snoring. We had a bottle of champagne chilling. We had the best intentions. We went to bed before 11:00. Hehe. God, I feel old! The fireworks started exactly at midnight. The neighborhood was a war zone. The casinos got in on it too. Their displays sounded impressive. At least it gave me the chance to kiss my husband at midnight. Then I fell back asleep.

The last few weeks, it seems like one of us is always sick. In fact, we've all had something. First we got a horrible roto-virus. Pukity-puke-puke. Then the hubby got sick on Christmas. Then I got a cold, or sinus infection or something, that I still currently have. I think we're all a bit run down.

The good news is, vacation is just 2 weeks away! w00t!!! We'll be sunning our selves whilst sipping fruity drinks in the Caribbean. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures.

I'm sure home will never be far from my mind. I'll be worrying about my family. My Great-Grandmother, who is in a nursing home. My brother, who is going through a divorce. My cousin, who may not have much more time with us.

The fact is, life happens. We can't escape it. Not even in the Caribbean.
