General musings

I always thought that was a funny saying. Christmas is more like the busiest time of the year. Shopping … decorating … wrapping presents … the older I get, the more I realize that it’s all sort of exhausting. Still, I’ve accomplished a few holiday items on my list, like the following: 

Tree — up.

Decorations — up.

Shopping — mostly done.

Presents — mostly wrapped.

Christmas cards — mostly sent.

My house — a disaster area (which is how it will stay until after Christmas when I take my tree down and put all the furniture back where it belongs). :rolleyes:

What about you guys? What are you looking forward to or stressing about during the holidays? Share in the comments.

Eat some turkey. Watch some football. Be with family and friends. And just enjoy the day. Because it’s what Wonder Woman would do. :ww:

I’ve probably mentioned this before, but Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Food, football, and family — what could be better than all that? 😉

I also think it’s nice to take a moment and remember everything that I have to be grateful for — my family, friends, and significant other; the fact that everyone is in pretty good health; that we all have enough food and roofs over our heads; the fact that my newspaper isn’t among the many that have folded this year which means I still have a job; that I sold a new book series …

I could go on, but you get the idea. What are you guys grateful for this year? Share in the comments.

I have big plans this weekend — I’m going to clean my desk out. Okay, you can quit laughing and feeling sorry for me now. 😎

Seriously, though, it’s a core that needs to be done. Whenever I’m writing, I just let papers pile up on my desk. And since I’m taking a couple weeks off from writing, it’s time for the Paper Purge of 2008. Wish me luck.

What about you guys? Anyone got big plans this weekend? Share in the comments.

And I, for one, am glad. Maybe now the media will talk about something other than politics. You know, other important things that are happening in the world, along with arts and books and movies and music.

A girl can dream anyway … :rolleyes:
