Happy New Year! (barely)

It’s the first of the year! (barely) Thank goodness I’m writing this from the pacific time zone, otherwise it’d already be the 2nd of the year and I’d be outta luck. Or I guess one could argue if I were writing this from that time zone it’d be the same time just in that time zone, because I’d have gone about my day just the same, only earlier. Right? Hmm, who knows? Hurts my brain a little to think about.

Alright so when I last left you all it was Christmas Day and I was SICK. AS. A. DOG. That hung around for the duration of my visit in Fort Lauderdale. Major bummer. And DEFINITELY NOT what I had in mind for that visit home. I was really disappointed. To make matters worse, I wound up infecting my dad too. He got sick our last day down south and prompted the Restas (Marcia and Mike) to kick us out! Haha. They didn’t technically force us to leave but merely encouraged us to take our germs out of a house with a toddler and a pregnant woman. Smart thinking really.

So, we moved on up!

On Tuesday, the 27th, we headed back up to Orlando. I started feeling a little better though the cold is still lingering with me even now. Good news it’s that it’s not NEARLY what it was. I was really laid up. Now I’ve just got some nasty congestion and some sluggishness. Hopefully some vitamin C will turn things around in a few more days.

So I was inspired to post on here this evening by a 2011 year-in-review summary from the WordPress people. They sent out this yearly report basically outlining the posts that were popular, where people came from most (aka most popular referring domains), and other fun stats that I actually found quite interesting. One such stat made me laugh and I’ve decided to share it with you all. It really needs no introduction, so here…

 

So there you have it. Among my 5 top commenters were 3 (THREE) of my immediate family. I guess this shouldn’t make me laugh, it’s just the fact of the matter when it comes to a personal blog. But, it made me giggle, and die a little inside, so I thought I’d share.

On another note I’d like to say a VERY special thank you to Wendy and Stephen for being the loyal blog followers and moreover, active participants, that they are. The readers truly make this thing worth writing and your comments motivate me.

That being said, if you’re out there reading this, LET ME KNOW IT! Either here on the blog or via a Facebook comment on the link that directed you here. It means the world to me. :)

Okay now I must warn you, I’m laying in bed and my lap is getting really hot from this computer so I gotta get going pretty soon. But, there is one last thing to share!

Today I went snowboarding for the first time this season and IT WAS A BLAST!

 

Me, syd, Evita, and Ana at Mt. High

 

When I say “I went,” I of course don’t mean I went alone! I took some penguins with me! Syd and Evita (above) play on the Fire Breathing Penguins (my basketball team) and Ana is E’s cousin (aka a psuedo-penguin). It was Ana’s first time and she picked it up QUICK! Meanwhile I dusted off the cobwebs early on and went right back into LOVING it! Soooo much fun! I can’t wait to get back out there again. :)

Before I go, let me leave you with one note: Tomorrow (aka in 11 hours) the Florida Gators will take on Ohio State for a bowl game that is pretty much to fight over Urban Meyer. Not that we want him back, that’s not the case at this point, we just want some retribution. He left us for “medical reasons” and we all understood. Then he signed on to coach those stupid trees/tree nuts and now it’s time to show the nation who’s better. It’s sure to be an intense game and suffice it to say the Buckeyes are GATORBAIT!

Alright, this laptop is officially burning my legs. Goodnight!

(Thanks for reading. Till next time…)
