Welcome home
Sunday, January 7, 2007 
It has been too long since I've been on here, but good Lord, have I needed the break. I started a new gig (more on that later) and had a fast and furious and fabulous Christmas with the fam. Then, we all flew cross-country for week's worth of in-laws, more Christmasing and a wonderful New Year's with our best friends and their kiddos. Then, back to the Chi on an overly-delayed plane and without lunch or dinner and home to an apartment in dire need of de-Christmasing, de-cluttering and re-organizing. Tomorrow, tomorrow. For some reason, this 412th trip to Portland and back has kicked my ass, perhaps because Lil E's schedule is teetering between Central and Pacific time zones and because I am working into the wee hours to make several upcoming, stressful deadlines. January...sigh. Needless to say, Sassafrass has been waiting in the wings patiently while I've slowly picked up my life (and a few stray metallic bows and smashed Macy's boxes). And now, I'm back.
Today, I'm back to my favorite cafe in the neighborhood with free wi-fi and homemade hummus and a much-needed, fully-loaded latte. Bruce and Lil E are revelling in the glory of all the yard, snow and housecleaning implements at Sears (thank you, Sears, for your row of brightly colored Dirt Devils, line of shiny brand new riding mowers and fully wall of weed whippers, leaf blowers and many other toddler squeal-inducers that fill your basement level) that will hopefully segue seamlessly into naptime (for both big papa and the wee one). The dishes are done, the laundry is on its first (yes, first) turn through the building dryer, I've almost decided on a Christmas New Year's card photo, one deadline's been extended a few relieving days, and on this Sunday, life is good.
