Leap Day!

There are two reasons I desperately wanted to write an entry over here today:

  1. I previously said I was determined to get all the Christmas photos posted by the end of February, and today (obviously) is the last day I can do that!

  2. I can only post on February 29th every four years, so I should take advantage of it


I've been having trouble sleeping lately, and John suggested I do some research on teas that might help. A google search brought me to a page on teavana.com all for night-time teas. I bought three different ones and have tried them all over the past week and have to say that, hands-down, this is the best one. Not only did it have a nice subtle citrus taste (that tasted very natural, too, not sicky-sweet or strong like a lot of citrus teas I've tried), but the two times I have had this before bed, I have slept like a ROCK.

I don't know if it's just a placebo effect, but I don't care, I haven't slept this well in a few months, so I'm happy with a placebo if it works.

Ok, so, the last of the Christmas photos, it is!

This is the cute sweatshirt I was talking about in the last entry. Be prepared to scroll through several more photos of it.

Santa wine stopper
This photo was actually taken a few days after Christmas, but it's a wine stopper that John and I got for Christmas that I love!
