Hard to believe, but January is almost over. I’ve spent most of January nesting. Craig and I have finally managed to frame and hang pictures and prints throughout the house. This week the last three prints should be back from the frame shop.

I started out January making lots of bean and vegetable soups. The last couple of weeks I’ve been on a potato kick, though not really in soup form. My trainer, Alayne, has a book at her gym, Potatoes Not Prozac. I haven’t read it, but I suspect that the cold weather and short days may be influencing my increased potato intake.

Craig and I have also been working on purging. I still have a ways to go, but on Saturday we filled the Subrau with donations for Goodwill and Free Geek. We got to follow it up by bringing Hammy’s pizza to the Muellers and meeting their newest member, Owen.

I have some new year’s goals that aren’t yet being met, included getting better at posting to the blog. Luckily, I continue to change the start of the new year. The first of January became inauguration day then Chinese New Year. Luckily for me yesterday was the start of Tet: Vietnamese New Year.

On Saturday we will be hosting the second annual Chili Rumble. It should be a fun time and a good kick-off for the year of the buffalo.
