Almost back to normal

I'm amazed by how much the holidays take out of a person. It's Monday and though the house is slowly getting back to normal I'm feeling grouchy and cranky and generally uncooperative. Maybe if I would send myself to bed before one a.m. once in awhile...

Sounds like someone's got a case of the Mondays!*

Well, perhaps a trip to the craft store after Aidan's nap will improve things. There are two projects I'm dying to start (more on them later). I haven't had any retail therapy in months (shopping for other people doesn't count) and I have also been dying to read Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger. Buying books is almost as satisfying as buying yarn. I'm almost done with The Know-It-All, on loan from Miss Katie Elizabeth, so a new book for the new year is certainly in order. Of course, I could wait for it from the library, but last time I checked I was still somewhere in the hundreds in line. Yeesh.

Here's hoping everyone gets through Monday with minimal fuss (*maybe go watch Office Space again - you know you want to).
