Sleater-Baby. Here's Maddy rockin' out to Sleater-Kinney, her mom's favorite group. 

Here's our sunflower, Madeline Jayne. 

Yo Estoy Inferno

I haven't felt much like doing anything lately, thanks to Christmas and this sickness. We all have it. Hopefully it won't last much longer. I can't stand hearing Maddy bark like a dog. How long does this stuff last, anyway?

Christmas was wonderfully busy. It was great to see everybody, but like every year, it went by too fast. I don't have the post-Christmas blues yet. Why does anyone get that anyway? I mean, the season's really tiring and stressful. I guess it's just the post-climactic feeling. All the presents are gone, relatives are traveling back to their homes, but at least there's always something to eat. I can't tell you how many varieties of pie we have.

I need to take down the Christmas tree. It's a zombie, it's so beyond dead. I'm afraid to turn on the lights anymore. I fear it will ignite. I guess that's one way of getting rid of it.

Gotta go. I love you, though.
