Best Blog Ever is on vacation

... but not cuz it wants to be.

Sorry for the lack of postings. This is my worst blog record in BBE history. I literally have had no time to turn on the computer in a week, between cooking and cleaning and wrapping and preparing for my houseful of family, who left yesterday. In about an hour, we leave for Alva, an Internet-free zone, but will be back on Wednesday when I'll try to catch up with this.

In the meantime, you all will be relieved to here that Santa did, indeed, bring Lexi the fire truck she's been talking about for six months. Lucky girl.
