If you have anything nice to say about anyone who reads this blog, feel free to say it here:
I might update this later with something nice about all my usual suspects. (which is to say people who comment to the blog, as I can't tell if you read without it.) |

Today is, so far, a good day. I am happy and smiling and hope nothing comes along to kill the mood. I know it will slip away as the day progresses, because that's just the way work goes, but for now I'm going to enjoy it.
It's been a rough month, both personally and for my friends and Fam Damily. I intend to stretch this little bit of happy as far as I can. =D
And since sharing happiness seems to make it grow, I hope you have a happy day as well. |

We officially survived another year of the family Christmas party for Shar's mom's family - or perhaps I should call it the family Christmas party, given the extra emphasis added in this year's card from his mom. As always, we had "another obligation" as an excuse to leave as soon as possible after the family dinner - that other "obligation" being getting home, into PJs, and curled up on the couch with a cup of tea and a pizza on the way. Yeah...we're awful like that.
It's definitely full on into winter and the holiday season. I haven't even had time to THINK about posting anything with content since my after-Turkey day commentary. Granted, that's only a few weeks, but it feels like forever.
Work is into that high speed, down hill run to when we file our proxy statement. I'm breathing a small sigh of relief that new SEC regulations don't take effect until after our filing date, but it's still going to be an interesting year - and I'm not sure that's a good interesting. Hopefully it won't lead to too many late nights.
Life on the home front has been just as busy. We managed to get a Christmas tree and decorate for the holidays. We may not be deep believers in Christmas, but I do believe in sparkly lights and green trees - and it gave me a good excuse to take some pictures of the house, which I've been promising to relatives. (They're up on Flickr.)
I've got almost all my shopping done - just need to make a quick trip to the craft store tomorrow and another quick trip to either Target or an office supply store. Then there's going to be some crafty stuff the next couple days, but that should be fun. Add in some time with the Fam Damily this week and plans for post-holiday wind-down time, and it should be a good holiday.
I could use that...it's been a long couple of weeks. Life's been taking me and many of the folks I care about for a serious roller coaster ride. For every up there's been several downs and it's starting to get a little overwhelming. I'm looking forward to the end of the year (and of course, NYE...I always look forward to NYE) - but for now, I think I'll settle for a good night's sleep.
Hope your holiday season is going smoothly. At the rate I've been bothering to post anything of significance, it'll be next year by the time I do this again. Maybe I'll do a New Year's "This is Why I Don't Bother With Resolutions" post. :) |

If you've not gotten a card from me in the past, or have moved in the last year and aren't sure if I have your address, please feel free to reply to this mail with your address or email me.
I'll mail the cards out on Monday.

After much wrestling with Photoshop I have created a template for my travel mug. This means I can change the artwork out of it when ever I feel like it.
HOORAY!
I know this may seem like a silly thing, but little artistic shit like this makes my day.
Ohhhh maybe I can sell travel mugs with my art on it.
*Ponders how well that would do realistically* |

It's been a while since I've posted, I haven't had much to talk about, but there's been some things on my mind and now I'm getting them out.

Aleut guy found this on NPR and I had to share, not only cause I love the song but because this version is pretty damn good.

Kobold Camp Chapter 5 is up. Not much eventful happened other than a slight decrease in hunger due to drafting some peasants as fishermen. Hopefully more interesting stuff happens over Autumn. |

This sounds like the kind of argument my game groups would get into with their GMs:
