Oh. Hey, I'm back!

I've been terribly MIA around here. Oops! I just returned from Christmas Vacation 2--Gatlinburg (with my boyfriend's family). It was fun and relaxing, but I hope that next year we don't go anywhere other than his grandma's farm. Just too much pressure. I would like to go back to Gatlinburg when it is warmer and do some more hiking, perhaps a horseback ride, and one or two of the fun commercial places (most likely Ripley's Believe It Or Not! museum). We went to Tanger outlet mall, and it was a real letdown. There weren't many "factory" stores so everything was basically the same thing you'd get back home--except with a 9.5% sales tax. Yikes!

My favorite souvenir would be my newest spoon for my collection--a porcelain spoon with a sea turtle from the Aquarium of the Smokies. I'm also excited about my cherry pit pack and flax seed eye pillow.

I have to get back to cleaning now. And making a grocery list. We have no food!
