It's so nice to be typing to you this morning after a full week of lots of odds and ends of tasks and visits. For me,  2009 is off to a great start. I've been spending more time with friends, cooking, and I even set up my desk. The cutting back on the workday goal hasn't really been happening. In taking time out of the day to visit, cook, organize and well, just live in general my work hours have been pushed to both extremes of the day. I will never cure the early riser bit, it is my most favorite time of the day, but the night owl bit I'd love to retire. It's going to take a great amount of effort, I can tell...

It's friday, and that means it's time to announce a winner (using a random integer generator) to my little thank you giveaway, Molly W! It was so wonderful to read through all of your thoughtful comments, truly. I'm sure I'll return to them when I am in need of a few words of wisdom. Thank you all for sharing, I wish I could send something to all of you.

Have a wonderful weekend, friends. I'll be over on flickr this weekend, uploading my 365 shots, and will see you back here on monday!
