2011: so far - - LAZY

If I had to use one word to describe my 2010 it would be:

OVERTHETOPINCREDIBLYOVERBOOKEDCRAZYBUSY!

It's good to be busy, but last year was a little much. It culminated in the busiest fall season of my photographic career (such as that is) and then a crazy-as-usual Christmas Season. So last week? The kids were out of school, it seriously snowed and was colder than it's ever been before. And what did I do?

Nuthin'

Well, relatively nuthin'. I cooked some meals, fed 6 horses, broke their ice, did laundry, did dishes, put away Christmas, moved furniture, played games with the kids, cleaned the bathroom, vacuumed, swept, cleaned the kitchen, went to work, took the kids to two movies, went to a wedding, did some young women projects, babysat Emily's new baby, hung out with Marty for a change, made cookies, visited with friends, went to Zumba, read 5 books.....

But compared to what I usually do? That's nuthin'.

And I'm not gonna lie, it felt real good. It hit me in the middle of my fall photo rush that I might have lost the ability to just chill. But I'm happy to report that that isn't the case. My Kindle and I can apparently chill for several hours in a day when I don't have photos to edit. I usually get quite sick this time of year, but I didn't  (except for a little upset tummy on NYE). I took a vacation this time instead of my body forcing one on me. Wow, what a concept. And I completely avoided my computer. Ah...

Anyhooo.... We took the kids - and Molly - to see Tangled on Sat night. Probably everybody has seen Tangled already, but if you haven't, YOU GOTTA SEE IT. It was AWESOME. Disney at it's best. So clever, so heartwarming, so charming....




And of course the horse, Maximus, was my very favorite character. Brilliant. He's what we would call in Parelli, a Left Brain Extrovert. My favorite Horsenality. Toooooo funny.



And another great clip:



Okay, sorry, enough with the Tangled. Oh, I can't resist: one more...



HA! And then he says, "You broke my smolder." Insanely brilliant.

So I hope everybody is having a relaxing, LAZY, 2011 so far. I've sure been enjoying mine.
