I tried, but I’m still way, WAY behind on catching up on everyone’s blogs.  Instead of freaking myself out, I’m just going to zero out my Reader and start over.  I just refuse to get stressed out over catching up, you know?

I’m thinking that I also need to admit defeat in regards to Christmas.  It’s a little over a week away and I still have shopping, wrapping and shipping to do.  I also forgot about a few friends and cards.  I just seem to feel a bit over my head this year.  Of course, it doesn’t help that we got a little turned around financially this last month and are just now clearing up that mess.

So I’m thinking it’s going to be a simple holiday this year.  The hubby is getting some camera stuff from me and I’m getting the Ladies Who Launch program from him (he might throw in a little trinket or something else, but I’m really not counting on it).  All is good though.  We’ve had a busy and fun year and we’ve done quite a bit of traveling (not to mention the beautiful necklace I bought myself in Healdsburg last month).  So we’ve truly been blessed and I’m okay with that.

I guess I can’t admit defeat with the wrapping & shipping though, huh?  Guess I know what I’ll be doing from now until it’s time to get dinner ready.
