And we're back....

Having a super fun-filled holiday vacation has only made it more difficult than usual to return to the daily grind. After the typical family Christmas goodness, touring of a gigantic Vanderbilt estate (including wine tasting, of course), too much southern BBQ, a deliciously quiet New Year's Eve, a harrowing travel experience, receiving the best gift ever, discovering said gift is broken, reading Elizabeth Currid's The Warhol Economy, watching hours of BBC On Demand and finally feeling a slight improvement in my injured arm (which turned out to be a fractured elbow, after all), I'm still not ready to return to real life.
