Merry Christmas

Wishing you all a peaceful holiday filled with love and joy...

Time goes by

I know..I know.. I've disappeared again. I don't see how people (like myself!) work full time and find the time to have a life and the time to write in their online journal. (I hate to use the word "blog" like it's a verb, or something. I'm old-fashioned that way, I guess. Or in denial)

No time now, either. Thanks for checking in, E. :-)
Quick version:
I survived Thanksgiving. Remind me next year NOT to have it again? Please?? LAST year, I'm quite certain I said the same thing. I've been cooking Thanksgiving for the family since, well, for the last 20 years or so. The thrill is GONE. I am OVER it. Next year, if the kids have nowhere to go, I'll make a small birdie and some stuffing and some pie and we'll drink wine and coffee and eat 'til we burst. Just we 4. Otherwise, I'm leaving town! I'm just over it, okay?

Now, on to Christmas. I am SO NOT READY! There is a lovely new wreath on my door and a cute new door mat with a snowman greeting us as we wipe our feet. The rest of "Christmas" is in boxes in my entryway. And don't even ASK me about presents. I've bought just a few but, really, how will I get it done?

And then there's the job. Well first there was 3. My girls and me. My other half left a couple of months ago. Now, our "new" office manager is leaving. Alrighty, then. I am pretty sure a door is opening. It involves the compromise I've wanted, but adds stress to the mix. Time will tell...I'll keep you posted. Or not. You know I'm not very reliable when it comes to writing entries in my online journal (because you know I don't "blog").


...took this today on my way home from work. pretty :-)
