okra: As We Were

It's pretty much back to normal life once again around the Okra household. (Well, almost. Keith is still in San Diego.) It's always a bit of a gear change after the holidays. I've posted some more holiday and snow pictures on Flickr.

I had a great time, and it seemed to go too fast. I don't want to take my Christmas tree down. I think I'll leave it up for another week or two. I'm just not tired of it just yet. And by that time, I'll be gearing back up for Chinese New Year! So, instead of moping, I'll be hanging lanterns.

It's going to be the year of the pig! I'm super excited, because that's my Chinese zodiac sign. Yay! It's finally our year for us pigs again. We're last in line, after all of the other animals. ;)

I found a really cute lai si style envelope over at Cut + Paste featuring, of course, the pig.
