Twenty-Ten! Or is it Two-Thousand-Ten?

I got sucked into the Twitter world and have been so busy compressing my thoughts into 140 characters or less that I have been neglecting the Blog!

Merry belated Christmas and happy new year. I think we're OK on the Christmas front. H knows something is up, but I think I've convinced her that I buy some gifts and Santa buys the others. She's definitely a little skeptical, but who wouldn't want to believe. And thanks NORAD for helping with the charade! Plus I can definitively tell her certain things without lying: No, I didn't eat the cookies (daddy did); Yes, I heard bells (that was me jingling them).

This year, we went away for the first time between Christmas and New Year's. We spent a week in Telluride skiing. I skied hard for 5 days in a row, and spent the 6th at the spa. The kids and A skied hard 6 days in a row. Once T remembered how to ski (he literally had no idea what to do with his hands and feet the first run!), he ripped. I think he will be better than his sister soon, and boy does that piss her off.

While we were walking down the hotel hallway one night, H noticed a "privacy please" sign and turned to me and said, "I think they're having s-e-x." I tried to pursue the conversation with her, but she's still not ready. She has a vague idea of what it is (a man and woman laying naked together!) but doesn't really want to know more about this point. And that's fine by me.
