First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone.
I've been knitting my fingers to the bone with holiday stuff, etc. (well it feels like it, but I guess I don't have much to show for it...and I will show it...maybe tomorrow).

Just a thought to keep in mind as we welcome the new year (and yes, I'll probably have the obligatory look back on the last year post in the next day or so, but this was very important to share).
When feeling down on your body image, don't EVER look at pictures of yourself from a week in Florida when it's January in New England and you haven't really seen sun in six months and you are as pasty white as I am. It's frightening! Yes...I have reached frightening paleness. See, I usually visit Florida in November, so I get to stretch out what little color I end up getting during the summer (I get color...I just don't lay out...bad for the skin and all) until at least Christmas.
I may have to make an emergency trip to Florida just to up my self-esteem!! It's gotten to the point where people have asked me if I feel okay! Yes, I am fine, just apparently embracing my inner Casper.
