December 2005 Archives

I'm taking the sage and wonderful advice of a reader who suggested, in a way, that I seriously need to chill. Somehow I found a little, actually a lot, of Christmas spirit today.

Recently I received cards from two long-time friends that I don't deserve to ever hear from again because I am a terrible correspondent - something that I plan to rectify this evening after this entry. That made me very happy. My California friend sent these incredible spiced pecans. Oh, my. I have to hide them from my family. They're called Jeffrey's Best Spiced Pecans. You can order them by calling 831-899-0992. It's nice to be remembered.

Then . . .over the last ten days or so, two of my friends have had some interesting changes in their lives.

Somebody needs to explain to me why it is that when some women begin to lose their estrogen it turns them into psychotic amnesiacs. If men have less estrogen than us even as ours is declining, why don't they burst into tears at virtually nothing, snap at imagined slights by confused family members, and forget that delicate desserts are overbaking while we inspect the ever growing sags mounting around our chin lines?

SOMEBODY EXPLAIN THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yikes! I went to look at my blog (is that narcissistic?) and discovered that I fell of the face of th earth! Well, almost . . . I just haven't posted an entry in so long that there was nothing current to read.

Why? You KNOW the answer to this question! I'm meeting myself around corners. I'm at panic stage because many of my Christmas gifts need to be ordered and then they need to be mailed. I'm just about out of time. I have cookies to bake, decorating to do - still, cards to write and this is a busy time of year for my job. We won't even be home for Christmas!

When will I blog??!! I value your opinion and while I may not return comments, PLEASE tell me how to make this season sane????
