Merry (late) Christmas; Happy (early) New Year

[eleneariel]

Christmas Eve was wonderful; Christmas Day was not, but I've gotten over it. (Relatives, argh. Friends are the family you choose, remember.)

Today is very hectic here at the library. Everyone is making up for the days we were closed, I guess! The phone has been ringing almost constantly. Between that and patrons, I'm trying to catch up on all the Interlibrary Loan work. Fun.

I just found out that my dad's-cousin's-daughter was not swept off her little island by the tsunamis. I didn't know this until yesterday, but she is a missionary on a little island off the coast of India.

I thought I had a lot to say but words have deserted me.

How odd to read this... I was looking at fridge magnets in a store today and a couple of them said something to the effect of "Friends are the family you choose." I'd never heard that quote before (that I recall.)

I've heard it attributed to Gigi Graves-McCrory, but I don't know if that's where it actually orginated or not. Quotes are slippery things.
