Year on its way out
Goodbye two thousand and six
With chicken, say cheers

12/30/06

Vast, new, unexplored
Wonderland of stimuli
Odd introduction

12/29/06

Hit the road today
Good friends just a drive away
Christmas number two

Fun with Mom and Dad
Time spent together is best
Tablecloths purchased

Marshmallows are stirred
Crispy noisy bits added
Joy of gooey treat

12/26/06

Grocery assist
Twenty-eight pack of water
My wrist's nemesis

12/25/06

Favorite people
Together, happy, relaxed
A great holiday

12/24/06

A new tradition
Insects hidden in rosettes
A Jello delight!

12/23/06

Mall madness defined
Frantic need to purchase gifts
Exercise credit

12/22/06

Ring, ring went the bell
Coats are on, purses gathered
For two weeks, work done

Taunting poetry
With macaroni involved
It's very uncool

Assistance is grand
Wrapping creates a challenge
Mom to the rescue!

Afternoon at home
Laptop balanced on my knees
Most productive work

12/18/06

A full day, no nap
Lunch and evening my carrots
Exhausting, but done

12/17/06

Old homes: distinctive
Pickles and kissing balls too
Shuttle bus: daunting

12/16/06

A horrible fate
Many cars converge en mass
Mall madness come true

Short week in hours
Excruciatingly long
Party at day's end

Cast gets attention
Color choice: common question
Reaction is mixed

12/13/06

Marathon 'til ten
Meeting: drawn out exercise
Candy fairies came!

Co-workers swarming
Sharing water cooler tales?
Time to view the cast

12/11/06

Defining the nap
Can it last most of the day?
What would Webster say?

Delicate balance
Chemistry: better living
Quiets throbbing wrist

12/9/06

My unconsciousness
Ebbs and flows like the gulf tide
Days pass in seconds

Neon pink or green?
Dr. Li suggests festive
It's black fiberglass

12/7/06

My wrist is broken
Initial thought was the truth
Not recommended

Hooray! Saint Nick's day!
A paper bag calling card
Holidays arrive

Lacking tumbleweeds
A complex cyber-landscape
Showdowns of free speech

12/4/06

The breakout sessions
Educators circle chairs
Conference behaviors

The eleventeenth
A vital part of Christmas
Snugglers are given

The world awakens
Covered in icy slumber
Refuge sought and found

Packed away with care
Familiar smells escaping
My holiday home
