Year of the Dragon

According to the Chinese calendar, tomorrow is the last day of the lunar year and tradition has it that everyone in the family will get together for a big feast to celebrate the end of the year.  You know, just like Thanksgiving.

I sent Chris off to the airport this morning.  I woke up at 5:30 in the morning and his flight was at 2:00 in the afternoon.  I think this is becoming one of our traditions - me sending him off to the airport - and I think I've developed quite a liking for it.

We would usually eat breakfast together and after that, walk around, talk, and perhaps buy something.  This morning, we figured out a way to an outlet mall nearby and it was great! 

Chris has started playing golf now and I wanted to get him some gloves and a hat.  So, it was great that we found them today =)  He also bought me a beautiful red calendar....totally my style.  I love it.  I will use it for work =)

Now that he's off for the holidays, I'm left back at home with a cold.  Actually, it's not as bad as it sounds.  I really enjoy this quiet time that I have.  I can use it to catch up on work, readings, and perhaps shopping....hahaha kidding.  But I do love some alone time where I can take it easy and work according to my schedule. 

The new year means a new start.  I hope this year will bring both Chris and I some new energy in our careers.  I would like some new publications (of course) and Chris, well, I think he would like some new opportunities. 

Family wise, I don't know.  Let's leave it like this for now.  I'll continue at another time.

Happy New Year!
