Not really any snow so to speak and the fact I haven&#8217;t gotten the Christmas tree up yet is contributing to the illusion that it Christmas isn&#8217;t really only 9 days away.<\/p>\n<p>At this moment I am taking a break from Christmas card production while listening to She &amp; Him&#8217;s Xmas album and most of my shopping is done and all of that, I still don&#8217;t realize Xmas is here.<\/p>\n<p>I originally had next week off for the holidays but I realized that Hollace didn&#8217;t so I changed it to the week between Xmas and New Years. I hope the weather is drivable since we will be spending the week visiting folks.<\/p>\n<p>Last weekend was my 48th birthday. That number is starting to sound old. I am already starting to freak out about turning 50. Oh dang, how can that be? Seriously. My hair isn&#8217;t grey yet, just under the bangs on the right side. I still don&#8217;t need reading glasses but I am sure that will be changing soon. I don&#8217;t think I will handle that well. Also this year my periods are starting to get slightly irregular. As soon as those three things really hit, I will feel old.<\/p>\n<p>Until them I am not. Do you know I have never gone in a liquor store by myself and maybe in one with someone else maybe 3 times. I am totally delusional to think I&#8217;m not yet 21! Maybe I should do that now that I am 48. Go in and buy a bottle of wine and be a wine drinker. That sounds older then I feel. Maybe get my hair cut short, I still wear it the same way as I have my whole life, younger then a 48 year old.<\/p>\n<p>One of the mom&#8217;s that wait while our kids are in Japanese class assumed she was older then me and I assume she was younger then me. We are the same age.<\/p>\n<p>For my birthday, Sherry came up for the day. She had homework to do so for the most part she sat on the couch to do it. She isn&#8217;t old either, she is doing homework for God&#8217;s sake!<\/p>\n<p>When Sherry was done with her homework, we all went to Tsukasa for dinner and a little shopping while we were out.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>2012 might be an interesting year. I hope nice even numbers are insignifcant as I will be celebrating 20 years at Abbott next November right around the time the company separates into two companies. I hope I fare well here, but at this time no one has any clue what is going to happen to shared services like the art department.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I guess it is, that is.
