I wish that I could tell you that my absence has been due to something glamorous like alien abduction or a really awesome vacation somewhere where I did not have email or Internet access. But no – I’ve been around, I’ve just been crazy busy with holiday madness!

I’m looking forward to detoxing from all of the rich holiday food that I’ve ingested over the past couple of weeks (we had a three-day potluck at work that was ridiculously decadent and was then followed by Christmas celebrations at my family’s house and with my in-laws), getting my house back in shape after a few weeks worth of baking and getting my financial house back in order after the excess of holiday spending.

One of the things that I love about this week is that it’s a chance to recover from the insanity of the holiday and gear up for all the good things to come in the new year. I hope that you all had a wonderful holiday!
