Whooshhh...

You hear that? That's the sound of the month screaming by at like Mach 10...

It's not that I haven't thought of my blog since the last post of December 7th... it's just that I have not yet mastered the art of writing in my sleep. (If I had, my blog would be full of posts and the manuscript I promised to have FINISHED this month would be sitting, neatly printed, on a stack at the corner of my desk. )

Instead the blog is empty and the manuscript is about halfway there. Hey, I'm an optimist. The manuscript is half-finished as opposed to hmmm... what would be the empty side of that? Half-unwritten I suppose. Yes, it's definitely half-written.

On the home front... the good news is my Christmas shopping is entirely finished even though I'm half-wrapped, half-decorated, and half-prepared for the holiday that is whooshing toward me.

Is this different from any other year? Not really only that I'm not freaked out about it this year. Basically, you could say this is 'just the NEW me!'
