I just have to buy one more gift – everything else is wrapped – and write out a million more Christmas cards, and I’ll be ready. Small miracle, considering that I’ve had something – rehearsals, parties, concerts, etc – every night so far this month. I actually ended up skipping rehearsal last night, because road conditions were terrible, and by the time I got home I would have had to immediately turn around and leave, and I still would have been late. I think I’m a little saner as a result.
We’re leaving for NYC Thursday after work, weather permitting, so my updating will be just as spotty as it has been lately. I’m hoping to get a chance to really get settled in with the new laptop, and make some improvements to this site over my vacation. Mmm. Vacation. 17 entire days to do anything but think about the icky stuff going on at work.
Stop the christmas cards as there are far better ways to tell people that you remember them at that time of the year. May I now say that i have enjoyed reading your blog. Your writing is rather expressive, therefore my congratulations. Best wishes and a happy Christmas to you.
Thanks for the kind words! I’m actually planning on scaling back a bit with the cards next year (especially since I was up until 1:30 this morning finishing them!) And when they’re one of the few times you communicate with someone you don’t live near, and all they say is “Merry Christmas”, what’s the point?
