Excuses
I failed at posting every day in December, clearly. At least the idea got me to blog more often than I have in a long time. So why'd I stop posting, you might ask? Oh, I'll tell you, and thus accomplish the dual purpose of telling you about the rest of my December, and giving you weaksauce excuses about why I quit posting. It'll be exciting! Read on!
A few days before Christmas, I dropped my phone/blogging device into a cup of cranberry juice mixed with Sprite (a.k.a. a classy spritzer). That was not a good feeling. Remarkably, the dude who helped Aaron at the Apple store gave us a free new phone, when it should have been $200 (and he even said, "Merry Christmas". Who knew Santa is really a twentysomething Apple geek workin' undercover in Brea?). So, yeah, I guess my phone fiasco would excuse me from two days of blogging, since we only have Internet on our phones at home, or zero days of blogging, since I could have just stolen Aaron's phone to blog. Anyway, dropping my overpriced phone into a cup of juice like a professional spaz was a bummer experience, which got much better when I heard I got a free phone. Full disclosure, I did cry a tiny tear of joy when I heard the news. (Anyone remember my post about Aaron's likability to the general public? I'm sure some of that came into play in this free phone incident. He's like a younger, cooler Mr. Rogers with sweet sideburns. How are people supposed to resist that?!)
The rest of my December consisted of finishing (ahem, starting and finishing) our Christmas shopping, family Christmas celebrations, our fourth wedding anniversary, relaxing with Aaron and Owen, and not blogging. It was great! I hope that each of you were able to enjoy time with your families as 2010 came to a close, and that God is near to you in this new year. My 2011 goals for this blog are to make it look better for y'all, and to post more often, of course. NaBloPoMo 2011, here I come... If I can beat my December record of 12 posts, I'll be thrilled! Thanks for reading!

That's funny I just re-read that post about Aaron's charm the other day! Sounds like an excellent December. Tell the man I said hello.
Totally valid excuse, not that you needed one.
And it was rather enjoyable to read it. Not from the perspective of your traumatic experience of an iPhone spritzer, but I was glued to my seat to see what would happen afterward.
The Robertses are a terrifically fun family! You guys rock!
December is a silly month for NaBloPoMoII. I think the vast wasteland of March is a much better candidate. I hereby challenge you to 13 posts in March. I'll do the same! :)
