i'm too on vacation.
i haven't done anything (including my daring bakers challenge - - but I think i'm going to apologize for that one beg clemency and move on).
the house is only barely livable.
i think we're on the verge of eating the pets - - or resorting to cannibalism. I'm worried for my husband, since there is more of him, with less fat, and well, there are two girls in the house... majority rule and all that. besides the only alternative for me would be to eat the baby, and she was too much work to make.
ok - - i'm starting to sound like a Palahniuk book. Time to be serious.
I've been having a delightful time with my husband, daughter, and pets. We've plenty of food, and I'm already struggling with the thought of returning to work.
sigh....

Fa La La Flllt...
Long days at work prevent me from enjoying the long evenings of the approaching winter.
(i'm a die hard - - regardless of the freezing and whatnot, it is Autumn until the 21st, dammit)
I have a long list, as well, of things to do and make and wrap. I'm fortunate that this year it doesn't (yet) include a long list of "things to attend" as well. I'm about out of attend-tion right now. I'm looking forward to tea and wrapping and holiday music. I'm not sure I'll get it, but I really like the thought of it. More likely, it will be another year of Christmas Eve marathon "wrapping" in bags. I really wanted to avoid that this year - - saving the bags for those odd (read - jacked up) shaped gifts that don't lend themselves to wrapping.
The worst part is that I still have shopping to do. My husband and I have to brave the toy store (or the equivalent) to collect the pieces left for our daughter. There are quite a few, too. I determined myself, this year, that I wouldn't run out and do it all myself - - allowing my DH to participate, with me, in the joy that is shopping for children. We have a few gifts for friends that hover on the horizon as well... these vex me most of all, because at least for the Foo we have a list. For them .... not so much.
End of humbug...
