holiday recap



Hope everyone had a very lovely holiday! Mine was peaceful and low-key. We stayed in town, since I'm headed to NC in two weeks, and it was just what the doctor ordered. On Christmas Eve, Kim and I went surfing in the 35-degree weather. With our 5-milimeter wetsuits, gloves, and booties, it was actually comfortable. We both caught fun little waves, and the morning was picture-perfect: a blue-to-orange ombre sky over an empty ocean. Getting out was another matter; we basically ripped each other's suits off while screaming at the freezing cold. I was laughing so hard I collapsed onto the icy concrete. It was insane and pretty much the best time ever. The rest of the day was spent napping, lounging with Erik, and eating lobster rolls. On Christmas, I actually relaxed and read (finished two books and a bottle of wine!) and caught up on some cleaning, cooking, and movie-watching. An unconventional holiday, for sure, but it was just right. Who says the holidays have to be hectic?
