Happy 2010!

Dance, Dance, where ever you may be…
To celebrate the New Year I treated myself to this uplifting photo series taken of me by Peter. I have had a bug all Christmas holiday and as my dearest confidents know, I don’t do sick very well. My mental health starts to go south when I am ill. Boredom starts and then anxiousness and then panic.
So, to perk myself up, I fooled around with this photo series and posted it because it is New Years day and it is time to have fun again!
New Years Eve was a family night watching Imax movies on the LCD projector in our family room with appetizers. Thank-you Grace and family for the amazing Imax movie collection! What a great gift! We are so excited to have Friday night Imax nights at our place with homemade pizza and the LCD projector. We watched one about Antarctica and let me tell you, those male elephant seals are horrid! They fight, not caring if they suffocate and kill any pups or females in their path–how the female elephant seals can tolerate them is beyond me!
My darlings have all been out skating with their dad. Even the Maplelea Dolls put on their skates and took to the ice.
Skiing is for the birds–if I can get out once a season I’m lucky–the time, money, and organization it takes to accomplish a day at the hill with the family is no easy feat and then add winter bugs to the equation and it leaves very little time one is even up to doing it. I say this yet as soon as I am better , I’ll be singing a new tune!
Thank goodness they are all having fun with their dad. It is Peter’s birthday tomorrow and Tabs on Sunday. Yes, birthday fever time at our house!
I am taking Mist out with me to get a few items even though I still have that blasted low grade fever!
I’m beginning to believe it is an odd virus that is taking its sweet time leaving my system.
Anway, this holiday has reinforced my true career desires and I will tackle them. I believe I may even start to paint asap again. At least I will go  tramping through the wilderness doing the photo shoots I need. I do love photography.
