Postcard from Florida

Dear Readers,

It's been a few days since I last wrote.  We got to Florida just fine.  It took a LONG time -- we rolled in at 3:30 AM on Wednesday the 22nd, but that was partly due to sleeping in a little bit, and partly due to a little detour to Charleston, SC to see a friend of the Boy's who owns a restaurant there (fries with bearnaise sauce?  Unbelievable!).  Since we've arrived, we've had a lovely few days.  Weather at first was good enough for swimming outside, but now it's gotten a bit cold.  Santa was good to me, which was nice, and we got the annual "Jean Shepherd is an awful, awful man" lecture from Ma Jaracz.  All in all a nice holiday.

We're still "on vacation" for a few more days, but I've got a story to write before we leave, and the Boy is getting some work done as well.  Then it's time to head back up through the massive amounts of snow we missed along the East Coast.  Hopefully we'll have smooth driving on the way back, and we'll be able to get into our house.  There's nothing quite like winter, right?

I'll probably take a few more days off from the blog to catch up on some reading of regular books and figuring out some goals for next year.  If I don't talk to you before then, have a happy new year!

Your pal,
Jill

p.s. -- Is it "good riddance" to 2010, or "we enjoyed you, 2010"?
