Taking the Month Off
I’ve decided to give myself a month off of writing. My life has just been unbelievably crazy busy and I’m stressing myself out. There is the pesky day job…which gets even crazier with year end stuff. Christmas and all that involves. I like to knit some of the presents I give…and I’ve really cut back on that, but I’m still doing some. Mainly because knitting keeps me sane. Then, (don’t tell my dad) 
we’re pulling off a surprise 80th birthday party for him 2 days after Christmas. The whole family will be in town for Christmas and the party.
My college boys will be home, and I miss them. I want to spend as much time with them as possible. My stepsons with be in for like 10 days too. So I’ll do lots of family things and mom things and bake cookies that they will decorate all nasty and obscene and stuff. 
So I decided to give myself a writing holiday this month. Oh, I’m sure I’ll still plot in the bathtub 
and jot down notes. But I’m not really going to hit it hard until January when the holidays are over.
I’ll keep blog hopping though, to keep up with what everyone is up too. Email me anytime, or use the contact form if you think I’m ignoring you 
or if you have any great, exciting news. (like Rene let me know there are Rudolph slippers at Kohl’s…but are they at the one near me??? NO, of course not!!)
Hope all of you have a wonderful holiday season. I’ll be reading your blogs, and I’ll be back blogging at the new year…and writing my butt off. (I wish that would really work ! 
)
