I'm not here much, am I? Too much to do these days, and besides, my horoscope said everyone is too wrapped up in their own stuff right now to even notice what I'm doing. Great! I can romp around here and do whatever I want. I'm posting a few beads on Wednesday. I have some new sparklie things to "bling" in the New Year. Lauren approves, so I know I'm on the right track. After Wednesday, I'm taking a little break. I'll get back to biz sometime in the first week of January. Right now I'm just making what feels fun, leaving options open for new work next year, and enjoying hanging out with Rick and our friends. We went shopping in town today, and I think we've finished! We celebrated with lunch at Orlando's, and then came home to do the last of the house decorating and relax for a while. I even talked Rick into painting my toenails for me! He's just the best boyfriend.

Hope you're getting in some rest time in the middle of this seasonal frenzy of activity. Sometimes we like to skip something fun so we can stay home and do nothing. It's wonderful! There's nothing like a quiet evening of tomato soup, grilled cheese with green chiles, and old Christmas movies. Comfort and joy don't come from the mall. Settle in tonight with someone nice, and feel the magic. Ahhhhhh.....
