Okay, I am at my parents’ house for Christmas already, but I had to take a break from my family-visiting and poodle-wrangling because oh my gosh, poor little Jamie-Lynn Spears has sure enough gone and let her sixteen-year-old self get pregnant.  I think you will all join me in a loud, sighing, “Bless her heart.”  Oh, bless. 

 In other news, I am sure that one of these days — hopefully soon?  but maybe not because I’m busy/lazy? — Jake and I will post some Best 0f 2007 lists.  I won’t speak for my sweet husband (who joins me here on Thursday! The dogs aren’t the only ones who miss him!) but this half of our little family had a really excellent 2007.  My reading was way, way down from last year (65ish as opposed to 115, ouch) and so far I don’t have a runaway favorite film of the year (maybe because I still haven’t seen No Country for Old Men OR Atonement OR Juno), but we listened to a ton of good music and saw a ton of good shows… so like I said, we’ll address all that later, in another post.  Soon.  One day.  I promise.  I have lots of relatives to visit and babies to hold and lemon-poppyseed bread to eat over the next few days.
