Out of the closet!

It is official. I am including a photo of Kevin and me - face first. Don't freak out. There are only three people that read this blog. And if Norman's face didn't add readership, nothing will.

Speaking of, here is a photo of THE NORM, eating Santa:

Are more people reading now? Because I wanted to start out with the goods. Why come out of the closet? Very simple. I ran out of photos hiding my face. And besides, hotpokkets, in general, are about the things you forget. The twist on this "hotpokket" blog is I write about what I remember. I know, brillant. ;)

Here is what I remember about the holidays. I had an awesome weekend in NYC with Lindsay. We had a Paris-inspired day, complete with french art, french food and french manicures. Hella good.

Since Lindsay's birthday falls close to the holidays, we always try to get together. Something to know about HP, I LOVE ME SOME BIRTHDAYS. Which is why, as Lindsay was out to dinner and people are arriving for hersurprise party, I convince myself to blow up as many balloons as possible. Because, hello, more balloons means more fun. Nope. I was so lightheaded after the performance, I knocked over the entire bowl of eggnog. And no, I wasn't in heels. I had to promptly put myself to bed, as I could barely carry a conversation.

For Christmas, I spent an awesome few days with my Dad and his wife. I love it out there. We had the best time together and it was really nice to just chill on the couch for hours. I love them so much for giving me space to simply not have to worry about everything. I get to check out.

With new years fast approaching, I boarded four, count'em, four planes to get to Aspen. Long story, but you know it well. It is your standard holiday travel hoopla. Regardless, Aspen is simply breathtaking. I met Kevin and his family there and stayed with them. It was freezing, but stunning. I skied blues and tried not to kill myself. The whole trip was like nothing I've ever experienced.

But most importantly, I had the best new years of my life. I was so happy, in pictures when I smiled, you can see my bottom teeth. Hence the above photo.

Happy New Year! May 2008 bring you lots of big toothy grins.

Love,

HP
