Finishing the year somewhere other than on my computer

i-f875c0b07d9b3cb6229668554781b35a-alice.jpgI'm finding the thing I need the most is a break from my computer. A break from emails saying I should do things, a break from my overflowing calendar, a break from long-overdue papers. So I'm doing other things instead. Like reading. And cleaning up the house. And putting away Christmas gifts and spoils from a quick trip to IKEA. Okay, and a little time on Facebook, because everyone else is too.

I know I should write an update post about Christmas and my family's party and such, perhaps even a year-end post although I haven't been here at Scienceblogs for a whole year yet, and certainly I should have posted something for this month's Scientiae (acmegirl is hosting; the deadline was 2 days ago, darn it). But I'm not right now, 'cause I need a break from my computer. At least, I'm not writing those yet. But I'll share my photos with you. And wish you a happy new year.

Oh, those are absolutely lovely photos, thanks for sharing. All the best for 2009!
