too long

Has it really been almost a year since I’ve posted here?  That is so sad.  There is so much I have wanted to post and to write and to change the way I do things.  A resolution for the new year perhaps?  Even though I don’t do resolutions?

Dr. Me is finishing his last day of teaching for the semester today.  I’m looking at the calendar and realizing that it is December and we should be getting ready for Christmas.  Maybe it is just the warm weather we’ve had – mind you it is now cold and there are actually snowflakes flying in the air as I type this – but it has been hard to realize exactly where we are in the year.  I read the Christmas stories, hear the shows on the tv, see the cards coming in the mail and it just doesn’t really seem really that time of year yet.  I’m hoping this changes soon.

So I’m going to try and be better.  Really.  I know family and friends are wanting to know what we want for Christmas and I’m trying to get that done today.

In my mind there is so much that I would like to accomplish in the 16 days before Christmas and I know a lot of it is going to remain in my brain as a wish for another year.  Hopefully I can keep my brain going amidst the fevers and craziness going on here at the house this week and last.
