The first Ten of the year

1. What did you get for Christmas?
I got a beautiful pair of earrings from the boys, new running shoes and Marc Jacobs perfume from the hubby, and lots of great other things!

2. Have you taken down your Christmas decorations? I didn't plan it, but Thursday we were stuck home because Henry got sent home from daycare for crying too much (love teething, the daycare thought there was something actually wrong with him) so the decorations came down then and the tree came down Sunday. I miss them, but I love having the space back.

3. What did you do for New Years Eve? We went to friends' house who has boys Spencer's age and hung out while the children (6 boys, 5 of them fully mobile and crazy) went insane and we drank and played board games. It was a lot of fun. The only problem *I* had with the night is that midnight is in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT! I was so tired by the end of the night my head was a wreck and I hadn't even drank much. My wonderful husband let me sleep until 9am the next morning, and all was again right with the world.

4. Do you like accents? As long as they're not too hard to understand. If I can understand them, they pretty much rock.

5. What kind of television do you have? A big one.

6. Did you make any changes at the beginning of 2012? I have resolutions, but I haven't made any changes yet. We finished out our vacation properly, and now it's time to follow up on my resolutions, starting today (ps - I added to those a little - I shouldn't hit "publish" on something I haven't looked at right before I go to bed).

7. What’s the last book you read and do you recommend it? I'm about halfway through Swamplandia! and yes, it's pretty interesting.

8. Do you stay current on celebrity gossip? Vaguely. Very, very vaguely.

9. Do you know the words to Bohemian Rhapsody? Gangstas Paradise? Fresh Prince of Bel-Air? Yes, no (most though) and yes.

10. What is your favorite educational television show? I don't think I watch a lot of educational television since LeVar Burton isn't on anymore. Why isn't Reading Rainbow on anymore?
