your determination will bring you much success

Well, we're piling in the car for a road trip this morning, bleary eyed but able. We will be spending the week with Greg's family. Stay tuned for llama hijinks! (They have a llama and alpaca ranch. There will be a lot of frolicking in the hay, which sadly isn't what you are picturing.)

I may not be by your *places* much this week, so I will say it now: Happy New Year internet friends. I hold you in my heart, and wish you all the joy this year can muster up.

(I promise I will not be this mushy all year long; don't puke on your shoes, just yet.)
