Still here...

So I'm still recovering from Christmas around here....the change of schedules, the "to do list" that has piled up, trotting across the state to visit friends and family, and throwing in a random organizing adventure at a friend's house. Right now I'm in Seattle, and it's the day after a birthday party for my dad. It was a murder mystery party, salmon dinner, and to top it off we all read to him letters of appreciation we had written for the occasion.  I couldn't get through mine without crying at several points... here's the last paragraph:

"My favorite memory of us will never fade in my heart: dancing in your arms on my wedding day.  Hearing your sobs in my ear as the tears burned my cheecks, feeling lost in time- invisible to a hundred faces- just me and my daddy and "butterfly kisses". "

It was such a special time....

So here's what's to come in the next few weeks...

-Yummy "Caldo de Res" Soup recipe with photos....Brent gave it 5 stars!

-My morning tea ritual

- Homemade dishwasher detergent recipe and review (I've got to try it out a couple times first!)

-Goals for 2008...I'm still working on them!

-A few of my favorite healthy food products with photos.

-New addiction...Settlers of Catan...

-Photos of the fabric for the quilt to be made for our bed...

Thanks for hanging in there as I try and get back into a routine...I am missing my creative outlets!
