Hibernation

I have been in hibernation. It has been too cold and my brain has been frozen but today it actually got above 20 and it feels like summer, not really but it did feel warmer and my brain has unfrozen slightly.
I think bears got it right with the hibernation thing. You get to sleep all winter during the freezing cold, get up when it is warm, eat as much as you possibly can for 6 months and then go back to sleep. It seems like an amazing plan.
On on side note, where has January gone? Time is flying by so fast! It seems likes Christmas, New Years and the whole month of January have been a blur.
Christmas was great. It was a little sad to be away from my family for the first time but it was also really nice to spend the whole day just John and me, relaxing and spending time together! We did pretty much the same thing on New Year's Eve and it was awesome.
I am excited for the new year and the adventures it will bring! I have already been able to cover a murder trial for my job and I have to say it was really really interesting. It wasn't all drama and craziness like you see on TV but it was still pretty awesome. And because the trial ended really late and I was on a tight deadline I got that adrenaline rush, like I used to get when I wrote sports on a super tight deadline, that I have missed so much. My face gets all hot and my heart starts pounding and it is just exciting and nerve racking wondering if you are going to make deadline! I love it.
As you can see by this post the cold weather and my partially frozen brain have made me super scatterbrained, hopefully my upcoming trip to South Carolina will help me thaw out.
