It has been a inexcusably long time since I have written a blog post. However, I am going to try to make excuses anyway. The number 1 reason is that my internet has been out for over two weeks. My first problem was that I needed a new wireless router. As I was installing the new router, my modem suddenly died. So then I needed to purchase a new modem. Once I finally purchased and installed the new modem, it took me forever to get ahold of someone at my internet provider to activate it. It has been an extreme exercise in patience to say the least.
My number 2 reason is that I was out of town for a week visiting my little sister and her family, including my adorable newly-turned-two-year-old-niece, Coralie. (pictures will follow in another blog post)
My number 3 reason is that right before our trip, my dad had a horrible accident involving some boiling peanut oil. (blog post to follow)
My last excuse is that I am sick. I'm pretty sure that it's just a cold, but it's still making me feel like I'm getting punched from the inside. I only felt up to getting on the computer today.
So anyway, I'm really sorry that it's been so long. Hope that everyone has been doing well in my absence!
Much love from your kleenex-hogging blogger, Rebecca.

The Terrible, Horrible, No Good , Very Bad Day
I hope that everyone has had a wonderful holiday season this year!
Mine has been pretty good for the most part. My parents have been spending the holidays with my little sister this year which has left me home alone. I had a nice party with some of my dearest friends and my aunt invited me to come down to her house and stay the night Christmas night.Unfortunately I started to get a scratchy throat on my drive down to her house and it's been pretty much downhill from there.
On Monday I sounded like a mix between an 80 yr old smoker and Darth Vader. After taking some mucinex I began feeling even WORSE as that stuff makes you cough up stuff that has been inside of you for decades. It definitely helps knock the chest congestion out, but you begin to wonder if you were really that badly off with that chest congestion. (Breathing is highly overrated after all) Today I slipped down my wooden stairs in my socks and pulled some muscle in my chest that now makes coughing even more uncomfortable. If you are familiar with the wonderful children's book "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" by Judith Viorst then you know where I'm going with this. When crappy things start piling up one after the other, I can't help but think of that book and declare that I'm moving to Australia.
On the positive side, I have been getting a decent amount of rest because I refuse to overdo it until I am 100% better. I am almost finished with my masquerade painting and have begun working on my entry piece for the Polymer Smooshers Guild January Challenge. Pictures will be following soon!
Until then I wish everyone a very safe and happy new year!
