How did it get to be the end of another year already???
I'm sitting here at my brother's apartment, wide awake from a 7:00 coffee run with Karen, switching back and forth between Law and Order and The Sound of Music - an interesting combination, I know. This year's trip home has, so far, proven to be painless, snow/ice free, and we headed West this time! (If you want to hear the story - ask. No point in disclosing Rachael-Moments when it's not absolutely necessary.) Can it be possible that this holiday season's trip home will be normal - or have I spoken too soon???
Jen, Brian and I left Massachusetts and it's 24 inches of snow behind last Saturday to a fun-filled road trip home to a snow-less and mild Ohio. Well, as fun as a 14 hour drive can be. But, we are fun people so it couldn't have been any less than that! :-)
Christmas Eve kept me on my toes. I knew ahead of time that I was going to be singing with the choir and sight-reading the 6 or so anthems - but when I got there I was recruited to sing alto as two of the altos who sang at the 9:00 service couldn't stay for the 11:00 and the choir alreay has 50 gazillion sopranos. Sight-reading and singing alto at the same time - not necessarily a good mix for Rachie - but I prevailed somehow. lol
So now we are to New Year's Eve Eve - Ralph has just threatened Captain VonTrapp and blown his whistle to get the attention of the other soldiers aaaand... Rachael is STILL wide-awake.
HAPPY 2008 everyone!
