27 dec 05
So, yesterday was a pretty rough day for me. I could not believe after all the buildup, all the shopping, and all the baking, Christmas was over. It was more of a letdown than I remember feeling for quite some time. When I ate that last chocolate from my Starbucks advent calendar…I got a little choked up. Coming home to my apartment alone was a bit rough, too. Audra changed the countdown over to “365 days ‘till Christmas.” Ugh. I don’t even want to think about it.
I think this particular week of the year is always a little awkward; there’s not quite enough time to come down from Christmas going into New Year’s. At least there’s no more holidays for a while, since I don’t count Singles Awareness Day.
I wouldn’t call 2005 an outstanding year, and I’m looking forward to what 2006 will bring (including another Christmas!).

I’m right there with you. Not enough time between the two holidays and coming home to a house that isn’t quite complete (and won’t be for quite some time) made we reflect on the things I’ve done this year and get motivated for the things I must get done in the next couple of months. So tired of not having a kitchen and complete bathroom. Plenty of motivation here.
