I have so many topics I want to blog about.  So many fun Christmas gifts and thoughts and ideas for the new year.  With that in mind, it’s killing me that I’m heading out tomorrow morning for a five-day New Years Eve camping extravaganza.  Me, my boyfriend, and (for the first few days) a few good friends in the woods, cozied up in a little old log cabin with no electricity and only a wood stove for heat.  I know it’s not everyone’s idea of the hottest way to ring in the new year, but for me it’s perfect.  It’s supposed to snow in Shenandoah, so that could be either pretty, or a pain-in-the-ass, as we’ll be hiking to the cabin after driving up a rough dirt road.

I only wish I’d had time to pre-write the blog posts I’m itching to share.  However, it will be great to have a relaxing set of days in the woods, reading, and writing in my journal, and catching up with good friends.  Plus, it’s always a joy to see the pups running freely and splashing in the freezing cold stream!

Here’s hoping that in 2010 I’ll be refreshed and better at writing more blog posts!
