Happy New Year

We're trying to get back into the swing of things after a Christmas break of unprecedented length (two weeks plus a snow day). One way we tried to ease the transition is by trying to spend all the gift cards we got, because several of the stores we got them for have been appearing on "companies that might not make it through 2009" lists. It's been fun splurging on less-than-practical things we might not otherwise have gotten.
