Christmas
Despite everything that is going on in our lives, we had a nice and quiet Christmas. We stayed in on Christmas eve as I was still recovering from the procedure. On the first day of Christmas we went to E's mother where we were traditionally greeted with way too much food, which we attempted to eat while talking about life stuff like his brother's new house and his other's health.
We went back home to pick up the meat for our christmas dinner at my mom's place. E selected buck, hare, boar and duck so we could taste the difference. My mom and Little Brother made mashed potatoes and red cabbage with apple. Noushka got a bit overexcited amd we walked her a couple of times during dinner. In the end, we kept her on ahort leash until she calmed down enough to stay on her place and play with her chew bone. She fell asleep shortly after and we played a game of Colonists of Catan (extended version with pirates). We went home way too late but we had a great evening.
The second day of Christmas we went out for a long walk with Noushka, where we could let her run around without a leash. She acts like she is in dog heaven and suddenly is way more responsive when we call her. I is so much fun to watch her splash around in puddles and play with other dogs. The rest of the day we stayed in and watched really old Christmas movies like Rat Race, High School High and Trains, Planes and Automobiles.
We managed to finally write our thank you cards for our wedding and posted them. We scribbled 'happy holidays' on top of it and send them on their merry way. I am doing some random chores with my computer inbetween things, and preparing my first class of 2015 (zambra mora). I updated my website security and deleted stuff from facebook. sending out the newsletter was hard but when I noticed that I now have ekeven subscribers I felt obliged to send it out anyway. Hey, these people signed up from their own free will so they are probably interested in what I have to say about dance and costuming. Let's work some marketing magic in 2015.
One more week to rest and recharge and I am ready to go back to work. Though I wouldn't mind staying at home and snuggling under a blanket with this dreadful weather.
