Happy black friday
I hope all of you are enjoying your day off. It's business as usual around here. I made a roast chicken, homemade stuffing and corn on the cob last night. We ate off the good china and drank from wine glasses. The kids seemed to get a kick out of it.
But it's hard to celebrate a holiday that isn't a holiday. This has been a tough week. I'm happy to report that the Tuesday night run to the hospital wasn't as bad as we thought, and my daughter's doing fine. But I'm frazzled.
Because I don't feel up to a lengthy blog entry, I'm just gonna post this. The cover flats came in the mail this week (yay!) and I did the best I could with our scanner. Click on the pic for a better look. It's even better in person, soooo glossy and shiny.
Pretty cool, huh?
Have a great weekend, and don't forget my monthly contest on the loop. We're talking about books, as usual, and if you're not a member of my Google group, you're missing out. Join here!

what a long, strange day it has been
If you've never tried to coordinate vacation plans with people who live halfway across the world and are in no real hurry to get back to you regarding what they're doing and when, while racing against the ever-increasing fares, then you have no idea what my day has been like. See, the closer we get to Christmas, the more it's going to cost to go anywhere. And we're apparently going to Cancun.
So here I go, researching this and checking that, comparing flight times, fleet of planes, safety record, service, price, and god only knows what else. I killed most of yesterday doing this, and the bulk of today as well. I'm happy to report I booked a super cheap fare on an obscure airline that has an excellent safety and service record. No, I'm not going to tell you the name of it because then you'll overload them with your travel plans, and I won't be able to get the super cheap rates when I want them!
I'm gonna be logging some serious miles between Dec 29 and January 7. You don't want to know. I don't even want to know, and I'm gonna be doing the traveling. The good news is, that between Dec 31 and Jan 6, I'll be kicking back in Cancun. That's a great way to usher in the New Year. With all the legwork I did putting this trip together, I've earned the break.
What are your holiday plans? Have you even thought about it yet?
