So why the long absence from this blog? Where the heck have I been? What could possibly be more important than sharing random thoughts with friends and strangers on the internet?
Well, I don’t know if you are aware, but the holiday season is a hectic time. Heck-tick. Parties, shopping, cleaning, guests, wrapping, and all that merry-making. Hoo-boy! Some people handle all the To Do’s and Fancy Do’s with style, grace, and a natural ease that I envy. I am not blessed with any of those admirable qualities, dagnabbit, but I do know that after a long day of holiday prep, a nice glass of vino in front of the twinkling Christmas tree works wonders to soothe this savage, stressed-out beast.
