For awhile, not much was happening. I didn't have the heart to write blogs about how the husband and I spent the day at our respective computers waiting to get some money in the bank.
Then we were swept up in Christmas which included having lots of family and friends over as well as giving the husband the American experience of going caroling. A good time was had by all, even though I would have preferred snow to rain.
It is now January, and we are fast approaching our first festival. We still haven't narrowed down exactly which one we will do first, but we have narrowed down a menu. So I'm busily calculating all the costs and working on the supplies needed for our first outing. Next month, I'll be taking a food safety course, both for information and for regulatory purposes. The month after that, we have the delightful event of serving dinner to a group of six - a dinner that we auctioned off for a charity that helps domestic violence victims here in the valley.
In other random news, the husband has the mom and I on a really healthy diet. By diet, I mean nutritious food that tastes good, not deprivation and calorie counting. Essentially, we use portion control and exercise. We've both been a bit spotty on the exercise, but it was enough to keep us from gaining weight during the holidays, and we're experiencing weight loss here at the beginning of the year. This makes me particularly happy where the mom is concerned, as I hope to keep her around for another few decades, and I'd like her to be enjoying those decades.
I promise to work harder on keeping this blog up to date. I guess that's my one New Year's Resolution this year.
Hope you all had a fantastic holiday season.
