Weekend Journal

This is going to be a really short post, because I have OD-ed on holidays, families, sweaters on sale, stacks of barely opened presents in the corner, dishes of food that involve sticks of butter and garlic. The guests have driven away. I simply can't relive everything again on this blog. I am watching an Anthony Bourdain marathon on the Travel Channel and longing to be alone in a strange land drinking shots of strong moonshine.

Instead, I am going to get back to business. The boys are amused with new video games and books and should leave me in peace for a few hours. I need to catch up on world events, research, and writing. Later, I'll burn off steam at the gym and eat nothing but dry salads for two weeks.
