Did you say "naked"? In a hammock??

Wow, so it just hit me that I haven't posted anything for over a week... I didn't exactly miss it, the posting, but I haven't been itching to get back to the keyboard either. Oh, well. I'm here now!

A recap of the holiday season:

• Went to several holiday-type parties, the best of which was on New Year's Eve. Rang in 2008 with much sweat (dancing), champagne (in a plastic cup with a strawberry slice), and vigor (duh). Oh, and (how could I almost forget?!?) my new favorite dress.
• Made absolutely no effort to resolve anything for the new year.
• Hung out with the family for several days. Home-cooked meals! Fully-stocked cabinet! Leftovers galore! (I like food.)
• Worked a mere day and a half during the eleven days between the weekend before Christmas and New Year's Day. I'm on consecutive day three back in the office and it hurts. The pain of staring at padded cubicle walls all day!
• Laughed a LOT, at parties and with the fam. And then laughed some more. My facial muscles got a workout - does that count as exercise?
• Farkled* close to ten times. And never lost. The bad karma is building up, I can feel it.

All in all, a great holiday season that was (as usual) far too short. But, BUT! There's Florida in a little over a week. Let the bikini panic begin.

*Farkle is a dice game that the boyfriend (and now I) can't get enough of. It's best played with a group, but two people will do just fine. There's complicated (for me) math involved and lots of rules to adjust to, but man is it FUN. The loser has to do something embarassing/disgusting/repellant. Hence, "What are we farkling for?" may be something like licking the toilet seat or laying naked in a hammock while the rest of the group pummels you with snowballs. (Both of which had to be done by people I know over the holidays. Ha.) Great game. You'd like it.
