you know what this means?

seventeen days, two surf comps, two ten page research papers, two media presentations, two tests, one seven hour flight

and i'll be home to...

one big happy family,  two best friends, a cozy bed, my cuddly dogs, a christmas tree,  pretty lights, skiing, snow-shoeing, tales from foreign countries, a wedding, stockings hung by the chimney with care, a toasty fire, plentiful food, white snow, hot chocolate, boots, scarves, jackets, hats.

hello december, 

i am so very glad you are here.
