Can I get a do-over for December? I feel so far behind and am in total denial that we’re already half a month into the new year. Maybe one of these guys can give me a push in the right direction fro 2012.

When I was 16 I was lucky enough to visit Switzerland, and the one thing I bought for myself was a little slate grey Swiss Army knife that goes on your keychain. I still have it and it still occasionally joins my keys. I’m digging the clean design of the Victorinox Tomo above, too.

Yup, I’m going there. Illustrated cat garland in all of my cat lady glory.

Of course Kate Miss of For Me, For You can sing. It just makes sense. She and her brother, Matt, joined musical forces to record an album of covers this past holiday season. And lucky us, it’s available for download. I promise you’ll love it.

I chose this photo for this post a few weeks ago. Back when my stepdad’s mom was in the hospital for what we thought was going to be a quick bout with gallstones. Now as I type this we’re several weeks later, Betty’s been in the ICU for awhile, and I’m heading back to Pennsylvania a day after returning from Christmas because they don’t expect she’ll make it through the weekend. I guess I just wanted to let you know that it’s a really tough time around here right now, and my blogging break is going to be extended another week or so. I haven’t had time to get any guest posts together to fill in for me, but I think you understand. Family first, always. xo
