• I survived! I made it through that dreaded, heinous 4-week period at the office that knocks me down every year and makes me shift into survival mode. And now I'm off for the next week so I can put all thoughts of work aside and just concentrate on all the happy stuff: family, gift-wrapping, Christmas music, no schedules, our beautiful Christmas tree, good food, driving around and admiring all the decorations and lights. I'm here for all of it.
• How's everyone doing with their Christmas shopping? I think I'm done... unless I'm forgetting something, wake up horrified in the middle of the night, and end up rushing out on Christmas Eve Day to find whatever I've forgotten. But I think I'm good. :)
• The Husband did the grocery shopping yesterday so I could stay at home and do other things. (I swear, the man is going for sainthood.) That gave me a chance to run out and pick up an item I'd ordered online and had shipped to the store. Traffic was insane and I'm sure it will only get worse so I'm going to try hard to stick close to home today.
• We stopped by my mom's house last night to check on her (she hadn't been feeling well earlier in the day) and we stayed longer than anticipated which meant I had to come straight home and take some Benadryl. Because she has a cat, she always comes to our house instead of me going over there. I am highly allergic to animal dander - and cats are the worst. Now I have a Benadryl hangover and I definitely see a nap in my future today. (It's supposed to rain all day so it's perfect nap weather.)
• And now for this week's 80's music fix: I know it's not exactly cheery and uplifting, but I love this one and it's so nostalgic for me. I remember all the excitement when it released (in 1984), buying the little 45 record and the 12" remix version. I watched MTV constantly for the video and named all the singers as they performed. It's been 35 years, but I still love this song.

WHAT I COMPLETED IN THE LAST WEEK:

Reading? What is reading?    

WHAT I'M CURRENTLY READING: 

    

Christmas in Silver Springs - Brenda Novak

I don't think I picked this one up even once during the past week. Between work and home and Christmas preparations, I didn't read at all. Either no time or I was too exhausted. Hopefully that will change this week while I'm off! 

    

Not a thing.

How was your week? Any new books? Any news to share? 

I'd love to hear about it!
