Lights Out (for a little break)

  I will be taking a blogging break until the end of December~ the little one and I are traveling to the rolling hills of Kentucky for a long visit with my sister and her two lovely girls.

 While gone, I plan to:

Bond with family (others are driving over from Texas and Iowa for Thanksgiving)



Enjoy playing with my nieces







Do a little writing/revising



Enjoy late night ice-cream, television (I haven't watched a sitcom in a loooooong time...we have one TV in our house and it's usually set on a sports program), and the type of serious sisterly chats that can only be had over Moose Tracks ice cream topped with peanut-butter M&Ms.

 See you next year!!

    Have fun! We have more TVs, but I have little time to watch it.

      Yeah, most of my free time is spent on the computer anyway, so I'm not sure that I'd take advantage of it even if we had an extra television.

      Blog breaks are necessary on occasion, but I'll be back in time to post some holiday gift ideas for writers!

    Sorry this is so late, but Happy New Year and enjoy the blog break Jess.

    And by the way, the older kiddo here talked mom into adding another television to the household with the same complaint that you commented about. He is much happier at least.

      Ah, what we do to make the kiddos happy :) Seriously, though, even though I don't necessarily like catering to teenage demands, we've contemplated doing the same thing. Happy/satisfied teenagers make a world of difference, don't they?
