peace

i've got some longer posts in draft that will have to wait until spring. with finals out of the way and most of my larger projects completed at work, i'm taking a nice long breath, reading some books for pleasure, and relaxing.

tomorrow's my last day of work for 2010 and we get to leave sometime around noon (yippee). after a few days with family, i'll have a week to myself and then four days of vacation with my husband. i am so looking forward to all of this.

despite that i've got the hang of classes and reading and all of that, this semester has been the hardest yet, mostly because of stuff not exactly related to school. i'm happy that i made it through, but my body is tired and my spirit needs some revival and i'm so quietly happy that i'll have some time to unwind and destress over the next few weeks.

for now, i'd like to wish you all a happy and peaceful break.

eeek

dear reader,
i totally owe you a blog post, but i'm sitting under a neverending pile of working and searching for an exit. each semester, i look a little lazy around this time, but i swear, it's not me! i want to write and i love to blog. it is one of my passions. but this time of year just doesn't allow it.

i know, i know... these all sound like excuses, but give me a couple days and i promise, i'll have something good to say. if anything, this pathetic letter should be proof of what graduate school and finals can do to a person's spirit and imagination.

forgive me?

<3,
