December has landed

Months have personalities, don't you think? The deep winter months are heavy and in spite of one of them having less days than others and also containing an obligatory love-focused holiday, they drag on and on and on...

The spring months bring the winds and the surprise snows, but we expect that, and have learned to roll with the windy punches.

Summer months...make us want to stretch out by a cool pool and enjoy jogs in the mountains and bbqs on the patio and late nights under the stars enjoying the balminess of it all.

And then there's an acceleration that begins in late August and increases through the end of October and slingshots through November...the speed with which these months pass always amazes and exhausts me.

And then December lands, full of activities, full of food, full of people and friends and shopping and shipping and the occasional snowfall and the holiday bustle and the first really heavy deep cold weather of the year.

We're there now. And it's feeling heavy today.

Perhaps the remedy is as simple as a lunchtime stroll or some moments of deep breathing. Or maybe both.

Schnazzed up Desert Magnolia..again, thanks to LP the graphics guru!

Happy Thursday, everyone! Nope, it's not quite Spring yet, but sometimes a girl's gotta get a new 'do. Or in this case this girl's gotta get a new blog header. You know what I mean. Thank you LP! You rock. I love the artistic approach..it's soft but nice and still says, 'Enter here at your own risk, for opinions of a strong nature are sure to be expressed.' That's how I see it, anyway.

What do you wear in Austin in October??

It's suppose to be in the 80's during the day, and only in the 70's at night. It's humid. I'm not sure what to pack. For once I'm attending a conference instead of having a booth at the tradeshow and networking that way. It's going to be good...to be in the classroom, listening to what people are caring about now. I look forward to it. But I'm spending way too much time worrying about whether jeans are too hot, capris are too cliche, clogs are passe, should I just go with a theme and be done with it, and all that crap. Seriously, you'd think I have better things to waste mental energy on, right? Apparently not so much.

Stormy Tuesday, with a chance of showers too....

The emotions, to say they're wildly fluctuating would be an exaggeration, but they are certainly not balanced and I am so not centered and I'm finding it really hard to maintain my train of thought and I'm now even more worried about my son moving to Abu Dhabi now that they're further limiting Blackberry communications, and my daughter has a stomach bug. But other than that, everything's cool in my world. Son heads to Abu Dhabi this Saturday, early evening my time. Daughter heads to Providence, RI, this Saturday, before lunch. Hubby just informed me we're committed to a dinner at his department head's house Saturday night for a 'casual evening with the new headmaster and his wife.' Are you kidding me? WTF? Of all the things I want to be doing Saturday night, I'm pretty sure schmoozing with the new guy (hub's boss for hell sake) is NOT on the list. My list looks more like this: Take a nap after first wave of absolute searingly...
