Exciting news updates have been sparse of late, mostly because of the demands of several ongoing activities. In recent weeks, I have been:

-reenacting Christmas photos with Ali and Ian.
-learning about the intricacies of the circulatory system.
-attending classes not related to law enforcement.
-watching Mal's dining room ceiling pulsate as partygoers upstairs jump up and down.
-longing for a day off.
-constructing sombreros out of newspaper, yarn, and pipe cleaners.
-laughing to the point of tears over supper with Ali and J.
-retrieving new pieces of furniture - an exercise bike and a small trampoline - from an alley.
-host[ess]ing splendid friendly visitors.
-celebrating Groundhog Day and Black History Month.
-phoning home.
-eating cheesecake in the car.
-perfecting my bench manner as a high school mock trial competition judge.
-working on my domestic skills.
-planning Fabulous February Festivities.
-freezing bottles of water.

Overwhelming, I know...
