Blank Slate

I can't believe it;
my Monday is a blank slate.

No more Christmas shopping to accomplish
or events to prepare for.

No returns to make.

No snow or floods
and the accompanying delays or cancellations
of school.

No children vomiting.

No appointments.

Laundry completely caught up;
not even any loads left to fold.

House clean.

And I am rested and have some energy.

Weird.
So Weird.

But soooooooo awesome!!!

A fresh coating of snow.
(I know my daughter is sick of it, but I like how it looks).
Long-sleeved layering tees from Gap.
(I picked up a couple for $10 each before Christmas. Ooh-la-la! )
My digital picture frame (Merry Christmas from Jim) that's displaying
My favorite pics of flowers that I've taken over the last few years.
Sharp, sturdy steak knives (Merry Christmas from Sean).
A new Sudoku book (Merry Christmas from Nate).
Killer fuzzy socks (Merry Christmas from Cami).
Facebook. (Too much fun).
NFL wild card weekend starting tomorrow.
Sunshine (albeit the cold variety).
Vacation.
My hubby and kids.
A roof over my head and a warm, comfy bed to curl up in at night.
