Oh, hello there.
Yes, it seems that I temporarily dropped off the face of the Earth.
There was the usual, expected stuff. The two straight days of baking Christmas cookies (yummy), the celebration of Christmas (very nice), the family gatherings (enjoyable).
But then there was also the onset of post-Christmas germs.
And so this week, when I had planned on doing fun things with the kids, cleaning up all the Christmas fallout, putting away decorations, and generally being productive…I’ve instead been coughing all night and spending my days on the couch. I implore my fever to go away, I plead with my lungs to cease their spasmodic coughing, and I hold my head still, hoping to stop the pain. But alas, my body is not cooperating.
Blech.
In the midst of all the blech, I kinda-sorta forgot that I owe you all the names of some winners. Two book winners and two Fall Into Reading winners, to be exact. I’m sorry. But I’m here now to give you the winners.
The winner of 40 Loaves is: Mark (Comment #6)
The winner of Watch Over Me is: Margie (Comment #16)
The winner of the $10 Amazon gift certificate is: Kristen @ A Day In The Life
The winner of the $5 Amazon gift certificate is: Shelly @ The Attic Girl
Congratulations to all of you!
And now, if you don’t mind, I’m going to head back to my couch. And hope that these germs will leave my body as a New Year’s gift to me.
I hope all of you had a delightful Christmas and that you and your families are managing to stay healthy!
Sorry to hear that you have been sick! Seems like a lot of that is going around; I just got over bronchitis. Thanks for the giveaway! Hope you have a great New Year’s!
Congrats to all the winners. I so look forward to Spring reading with you all.
Blessings to all of you & yours
I’m so sorry that you are sick again!
I dropped off the computer face of the earth sort of unintentionally for about 5 days while I visited family. I thought I’d log in, but didn’t — and was totally okay with that.

I got a little sick right before Christmas, but as a teacher I was glad it happened over break than during a work week.
Take care of yourself. Sometimes I think He just wants us to rest…
I am so excited! What better prize for a book lover than an Amazon card. Thanks so much. I e-mailed you.
I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been ill. I never got around to doing my wrap up post due to the time of year…
Oh my goodness, I hope you feel better very soon! Take care of yourself.

Congrats winners!!!!
I’m thrilled to win the book. (I emailed you) Happy New Year!
Congrats to all the winners! I hope you get to feeling a bit better soon. =)
Congrats to the winners!
We fell to the bug as well (at the end of Christmas day, thank goodness) and I’ve been plodding along with a box of Kleenex by my side as well.
Hope you feel better soon!
We’ve had the sickies around here too. Hope you are feeling better soon!
The sickies arrived at my house today and I’m hoping they go away soon. Hope you feel better soon too!
