Shameless run of Gaza photos

I'm going to indulge in a little self-pity here. I have an abundantly blessed life... but I still wish I could be home for Christmas. This is the second Christmas I've spent away from family and I don't like it :(

However, I got to spend Thanksgiving in Indiana and now have a dog to come home to, so my pity party is over :) Besides, it's not like I'm at The Forefront anymore. This Christmas will not end with Katie and me crying in the parking lot and then going home alone again...



The shaved left eyebrow (from an encounter with a raccoon?) is so haute cuuture, don't you think?



Please note my amazing purple leather chair :)



Ducks? Ducks?? Ducks!!



Oh well hey there.
