We Wish You a Merry Christmas

Today is Thursday and Thursday means Love. Today I'm loving that it's my last day of work and then it's 11 whole days of holidays! WOO! It's been a very long time since I've had a whole week of holidays (that wasn't spent in the hospital), since last Christmas I think. I woke up this morning and thought to myself, I can sleep in for 11 days in a row! WOO-EEE

I'm gonna sleep in, eat lots of yummy food and IMMERSE myself in Christmassyness!!!!

I almost blew away

Oh my freaking goodness! When did the WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS get here? I swear, every year time seems to fly by faster and faster. It hardly seems like December's even started, and then, Oh, Hello Christmas. GO AWAY I'M NOT READY FOR YOU YET!

I am so not ready. I have gifts left to buy, I have baking left to do (although keeping in tune with my getting in shape (ha ha ha) strategy, I don't intend to do much baking.

Also, being stranded in the big city for work last week didn't help much. I did manage to start my Christmas shopping, but I wasted a whole night in an airport hotel (a lovely, posh one, mind you) while i waited for the hurricane to cease.

Unfortunately this delay made me miss the funeral of W.'s aunt, which was quite upsetting for me. I had to go to these meetings for work, so I wasn't able to be there for any of it. Part of me is ok with that, but part of me would liked to have at least been there.

She was a lovely lady, although with her problems like anyone else, and she will be missed.

Failure

So I didn't make my 30 post goal for November, which I guess means I failed in Blog Month. However, it's not really a failure - I posted 24 times in November which is more than I've posted in the whole months before that since I started this blog. So I feel that I've kind of made this little site into a home for me to write and think. I think I like that.

So Ponies carries on...
