and the day passed by...

I cannot believe that the day has gone by, and I have accomplished little more than searching the internet.  Nothing important, mind you.  Just slogging around looking at this and that, listening to new music, checking email.  Part of me says, "who cares?"  But the rest of me says, " Four hours wasted!!"

Now that it is dark, and none of my chores are done, I guess I will wait another day to be productive.  Meahwhile, my book is whispering my name.... and I must answer the call.

the decorations

Ahh, tis the season to enjoy all those holiday things...  I am actually a bah humbug kind of gal.  I buy gifts for people I love, and I bake a few cookies, but I really don't get into "it." 

However, I am a sucker for the light displays that people create at their houses.  I can't help but drive slowly by, and admire the colors and the twinkles.  Know that I would never create such a glorious display at my own home.  I see it as being way too much work setting everything up, but the worse would be taking it all down!! 

Kudos to those dedicated folks who give me joy every time I see their lights.  I appreciate all of them, from the humble, to the quirky to the extreme.  Thanks for giving me more joy than you know.  And Merry Christmas to you!
