Happy Christmas, everyone! For us there’s no sudden trips to Las Vegas, or time spent in Europe or South America, or a whirlwind journey to the mountains. This year it’s going to be spent at home taking care of stuff that never gets done. <\/p>\n

First and foremost is dealing with La Ni\u00f1a<\/em>‘s bedroom. She’s been living with everyone else’s hand-me-down furniture her whole life — all very patchwork and (now) mostly broken. So, after a bit of saving and wandering around online-furniture-land, we took her to Ikea and let her pick her furniture. <\/p>\n

Step 1 of the furniture building adventures was a bed (frame only), which produced many head scratches, cusses, an OMG-did-I-get-the-right-size<\/em> moment, mystery, drama, and eventual success (with only two pieces leftover). And, it has already gotten the Stryder nap of approval.<\/p>\n

Step 2 is the desk. I can hardly wait (sarcasm).<\/p>\n

I’m signing off until the New Year. We’ve got a lot of furniture to build, a lot of gluten\/corn\/dairy-free goods to eat, and more adventures to plan. You may or may not see something from Kevin the Guest Poster<\/em>. He’s been hanging out in Australia these past few months.<\/p>\n
