new year… same minimalism in blogging

It is more than halfway through January, and I am finally popping in to say hello.

To recap my holidays (2 weeks, split over Victoria, Portland, and Squamish):

• the socks were well-received as gifts by both recipients
• I went snowshoeing (twice) – it was really fun, and easier than I expected
• I went skiing once – it was also fun, but harder than I remembered
• I finished a sock that I am now having trouble getting motivated to work on the second one (for the record, that makes 2 half-finished pairs in the lineup now)
• I saw a helicopter taking off pretty close by on Whistler
• I managed to overcome by laziness, and saw all of my friends while I was out west
• I made a bet with my sister that we would not eat ice cream all year. Do I need to tell you how much ice cream I ate before midnight on December 31? The important thing is that it was delicious, and that popsicles and gelato are still ok.

That is all!
