It's Been A Whirlwind...

...and it shows no sign of slowing in the near future. i know it's been rather quiet here in bloggy land and the reason for that, well, i'm taking any spare time i can find to screw my head on straight. we had company for the week or so before/of thanksgiving which was also accompanied by the birthday brunch bash (or, the tons o' eggs incident...as it has come to be called around these here parts) which i believe i blogged about previously. so, the company left early on saturday morning just in time for us to run a whole slew of errands that had been neglected, and then mass (cantoring too), a few more errands and stuff around the house for sunday. and well, i thought this week was going to be quiet with all those naps. let's just say things look a bit rosier...when you forget to enter three appointments and/or meetings on your calendar. so, the nap was relegated to hmm, monday. yep, it's done...it's over...and i didn't even nap. i cleaned and did laundry. then, this weekend is the artisan fair at our parish. and wouldn't you know it, it's arranged by...yours truly. yes, i enjoy it but frankly i'm ready to just plan and set up the whole thing and not even sell any items myself. does anybody want to take a whole bunch of handmade rosaries and jewelry, plus a few gift baskets and food-esque items off of my hands? so yeah. all of this hot air to say i've been busy. makes me start to wonder how much of my issues could be solved by better time management, but that's another whole story all together. i'm dying to tell you about my shopping on black friday and our new living room furniture and our plans for various feasts and holy days...but those will have to wait. pretzels need to be chocolate coated and beads need to be wired and strung. let's hope i don't get confused or else we're going to end up with chocolate covered glass bead clusters and pretzel rosaries.
