I've been so busy! I know it's partially the time of year, but I feel like I'm super busy even when not doing holiday stuff.
This week alone I've had Mac's choir concert and tonight is his band concert. I had to sort all the Alcatraz Prom pictures with the photographer last night. Monday night I helped ITSam- he needed a ride to his son's band concert so I did that ('tis the season to be nice, right?). Something every night this week!
Friday we're going to help Daddy-O decorate the rest of the house for Christmas. I committed to working an extra secretary shift over the weekend. I promised to take Princess Christmas shopping Sunday, which is a good thing since I haven't bought a single gift! (Thank goodness I have a list of what I want to get!). XRay Girl wants to have dinner one night this week, I haven't seen Curly socially in a month, and I only could see Princess for 2 hours the other night.
Additionally, I promised Mac to help him with a HUGE paper that's due tomorrow and he wants to get some serious extra credit in Spanish class so he needs to MAKE a pinata. Are you kidding? I offered to just buy one, but that's not allowed. I told him to ask Daddy-O for help since that's an art project.
Add to this a new job and then working extra as my "peripheral" jobs... ugh. I've been so very tired. I've been trying to make hats for the Alcatraz kids (with the help of my elves, thank you very much!), blog, read blogs, read books, relax, hang with friends and there's no time for anything. I'm really not complaining; I just feel so overwhelmed. I actually went to bed last night at 8:20pm.
The purpose of this post was originally two fold- to just say thanks to everyone who is reading me (and voting for me as one of the top blogs- please keep voting!) and to tell you that I'll be back to reading soon... maybe over Christmas break?
I could also preview a few other upcoming posts: Christmas food, my 40 things to do before I'm 40 (PLEASE more ideas needed!!!!) my new job, kiwi fruit debate, and the Christmas swap.
I do miss you!

I'm not sure how many things you've done, but one thing I've added to my list is to see a play at our community theater. Maybe even **gasp** try out for a play?
Write poetry.
Cook an exotic dish. Or two.
Perform some random acts of kindness.
I'm still working on mine.
Just reading this post makes me want to take a nap. 1 hat down. How many to go? As for socializing with me, that might have to wait till after the holidays although I want to go see "The Tourist". It opens tomorrow. I know you have to work. Drat. As for the pinata, I would make it small because they take alot of time to make.
Hi sweetie,
I know you're busy but I have a commentary that begs your HONEST Opinion with no worries okay???
Don't forget to paint those pretty toes...LOL
