I did it!

Okay, reality check. I didn’t “quite” do it all.

But…

I did finish my Christmas shopping without committing suicide or driving the car into oncoming traffic. I still have to wrap, though, so anything can happen.

I did finish my Christmas cards…although they’ll all be delivered after Christmas.

I did finish and deliver all the neighbor’s gifts. (Don’t ask. It was a tradition started by someone who had waaaay too much time on their hands. And since we get eighteen neighborly gifts delivered to us, we sorta have to reciprocate. Yes, you read that right. E-i-g-h-t-e-e-n. Wisteria Lane, people. I … Read more »

Checking In . . .

I’m in revision hell, remodel hell, and oh-my-God-I’m-hosting-a-work-Christmas-party-for-the-DH-on-Friday hell, so this is all you get.

Looks like the WIP will just have to wait.

I received a full request from an editor at SIM for MB. Sooo…guess what I’ll be doing the next few weeks? Yep, that’s right, getting the manuscript in tip-top shape, editing here and there and prepping it to go out before the end of the year. Did I ever mention I work well under pressure? Um…well…I think…I mean, I hope I do!

Ay ya ya…so much for a nice relaxing holiday season.

Lisa and Rafe from the WIP are not happy with me at the moment, but they’ll just have to … Read more »

Christmas Spirit

So, it’s December 3rd and we are the only house on our street without Christmas lights up and blinking. As a matter of fact, we have been the only house without Christmas lights for almost two weeks.

Two weeks, you ask?

Yes, that’s right. Most of the neighbors had them up and ready to go the weekend before Turkey day. Some even had them on. Hey, around here we call that getting the jump on Christmas spirit, baby.

*sigh*

Of course, not us, because we are bah-humbug by nature. (Okay, so I am, at least.) Christmas decorating (in my opinion) … Read more »
