Holidays are over, Resolutions are on, It's freezing...we've got the January Slumps!!!
I don't know if any of you suffer from this epidemic, but after speaking with a lot of people, I get the feeling you just might. It's that time of year when there just is NOT a whole lot going on. So, I have created a list of things I am doing to help bide the time until the SLUMP is over
#1. Take up a new hobby. Thanks to my friend Natasha, I am trying my hand at knitting. So far so good, but for a perfectionist like me, I am not doing so well with the snags. But, it is a lot of fun trying!
#2. Crossing off the To Do's. I feel so much better when I have accomplished something. No matter if it's the laundry or mailing a thank you not. Currently, I am crossing a HUGE to do off my list...Thanks you cards from our wedding (Yes, it has been 6 months. Miss Manners suggests doing them up to TWO years after the marriage...I figure we are right on track!)
#3. Buy something you enjoy. Thanks to my friend Kristy, I have purchased TWO new glosses from MAC. They weren't anything I needed, just wanted. They are bright colors and I love them!
#4. Invite friends to come and visit. Heidi and Pam (old college roommates, current friends :)will be joining the Eastman's a week from today. Should have some good posts/pics when they are here.
#5. Read a new book. Jed and I were reunited with our long lost friend, AMAZON.com and purchased some (hopefully) good books. I would MUCH rather be reading a book on the subway than staring at people and wonder why they do the things they do. (I think I just revealed a guilty pleasure of mine.)
Well, let's hope we can all hang on for a few more weeks until this slump is over!

...when i read "old college roommates" i thought WHAT? wait a minute! but then continued reading "current friends :)" nice save!
I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited to come!
see you in a few days!
Cute blog, Heather! And too cute cards...it was good to see your face again (even if just on the front of a card). Carl and I (and Ethan, of course) say "hello" and hope everything is going well. We LOVE New York...and if we get to go again, we'll need to stop by!

Hi Heather & Jed,
We got your thank-you today, darling! I've been looking at all of your pics, you look like you are having a ball! It's so fun to see you so happy.
Love,
Di & Scott
