"Keep breathing" is about right, I hadn't realised how long it's been since I was here. Life's been a backwards forwards always driving more people to visit hectic few weeks.
I frantically tried to create homemade pressies for my nearest and dearest...starting on the 19th December. Organisation is still not my strong point, but I'm working on it. I did get almost all of what I'd planned done though, and into the post. It felt like christmas miracle number one.

Today we've been having a snow day...England simply can't cope with a foot of snow, Rosie's stuck on the drive and I got to trample in snow, laugh at A cannonballing into the giant snowball he made, watch birds washing their hair and hands and face in snow...all the wintry stuff. We walked to town and I'm starting to ache in muscles I didn't know I had.

The forecast is not looking good for tomorrow either; ice on top of the snow, so I'll see how it goes. I could be working from home, which could be a much needed chance to get organised.

I've been reading a few blogs about getting organised, since it's an area that keeps coming up (we're planning to move house soon and all this *stuff* is not moving with us). They're probably old news in blog land but I've been soaking up the wisdom at three interesting blogs -

Art of Non-Conformity http://chrisguillebeau.com/3x5/
Zen Habits http://zenhabits.net/
The Happiness Project http://www.happiness-project.com/

time for hot chocolate and a bath right now...winter can be beaten by bubbles and candlelight, it can it can it can.

speak sooner, I promise x
