A Long Week

It's been a long week. I am officially an NSM widow. In February every year Thomson has a big sales meeting and for several weeks before the meeting Jeff is up to his eyeballs in work. So much that he didn't even come home on Wednesday night, just worked straight through from 4am Wednesday until 4pm Thursday. Then of course he'll be out in Phoenix for the actual sales meeting to take photos or whatever it is they have him doing.

But I've been busy as well. My counterpart at work quit last week so now all the work is falling on me, on top of that the backlash from a slow December means that January is the opposite. Now we're down to only one day left in the month and I'm behind my quota by 9 websites. So both Jeff and I are going to be in the office late tonight.

Tomorrow we'll take a break from our cubicle jail cells and transport the horses from their current barn to the new barn 2 miles from our house. Having the horses closer will be so nice. But I'm guessing that as soon as the horses are settled in it'll be back to work. Luckily Sunday is a new month so my goals will start all over again.

We haven't been home much since there's been so much going on with our families, so the kitchen is in the same state that it was at Thanksgiving, functional but not quite finished. Maybe when things slow down again we'll get back to all the projects at the house. As long as the freezer has ice cream in it, I think we'll be fine.

The Mini and the Snow

The mini isn't too bad in the snow but when the driveway hasn't been plowed and there's a foot of new snow, it gets a little unhappy.

Trying out the Email to Blog Feature

Bear with me now, just trying out a feature that might make it easier for us to post entries.  I promise one of these days to update with something truly interesting.  Or just a little recap of the holidays.  And I was going to post our holiday letter wasn't I?  Wow so much to do, I must have really been slacking over the holidays.  Sorry folks!
