We officially survived another year of the family Christmas party for Shar's mom's family - or perhaps I should call it the family Christmas party, given the extra emphasis added in this year's card from his mom. As always, we had "another obligation" as an excuse to leave as soon as possible after the family dinner - that other "obligation" being getting home, into PJs, and curled up on the couch with a cup of tea and a pizza on the way. Yeah...we're awful like that.
It's definitely full on into winter and the holiday season. I haven't even had time to THINK about posting anything with content since my after-Turkey day commentary. Granted, that's only a few weeks, but it feels like forever.
Work is into that high speed, down hill run to when we file our proxy statement. I'm breathing a small sigh of relief that new SEC regulations don't take effect until after our filing date, but it's still going to be an interesting year - and I'm not sure that's a good interesting. Hopefully it won't lead to too many late nights.
Life on the home front has been just as busy. We managed to get a Christmas tree and decorate for the holidays. We may not be deep believers in Christmas, but I do believe in sparkly lights and green trees - and it gave me a good excuse to take some pictures of the house, which I've been promising to relatives. (They're up on Flickr.)
I've got almost all my shopping done - just need to make a quick trip to the craft store tomorrow and another quick trip to either Target or an office supply store. Then there's going to be some crafty stuff the next couple days, but that should be fun. Add in some time with the Fam Damily this week and plans for post-holiday wind-down time, and it should be a good holiday.
I could use that...it's been a long couple of weeks. Life's been taking me and many of the folks I care about for a serious roller coaster ride. For every up there's been several downs and it's starting to get a little overwhelming. I'm looking forward to the end of the year (and of course, NYE...I always look forward to NYE) - but for now, I think I'll settle for a good night's sleep.
Hope your holiday season is going smoothly. At the rate I've been bothering to post anything of significance, it'll be next year by the time I do this again. Maybe I'll do a New Year's "This is Why I Don't Bother With Resolutions" post. :)

After much wrestling with Photoshop I have created a template for my travel mug. This means I can change the artwork out of it when ever I feel like it.
HOORAY!
I know this may seem like a silly thing, but little artistic shit like this makes my day.
Ohhhh maybe I can sell travel mugs with my art on it.
*Ponders how well that would do realistically*

It's been a while since I've posted, I haven't had much to talk about, but there's been some things on my mind and now I'm getting them out.

Aleut guy found this on NPR and I had to share, not only cause I love the song but because this version is pretty damn good.

Kobold Camp Chapter 5 is up. Not much eventful happened other than a slight decrease in hunger due to drafting some peasants as fishermen. Hopefully more interesting stuff happens over Autumn.

This sounds like the kind of argument my game groups would get into with their GMs:

I feel like my insides have been sucked out and stomped on. This has been the most difficult time I've had pulling through anything. Usually I can say, "This is stupid and it sucks but, I'm Stephanie and I can make it happen." But as for now, I'm not handling the stress of jobs, school, relationships, moving, money and so on very well. I have crawled back inside myself not knowing what to do or who to trust. It all comes down to the thing of not feeling safe which, I now know will send me into a tailspin faster than anything else.
Annie and I have had some unexpected expenses, job changes and hours cut come our way that have put us on the brink and I'm terrified of what might happen. We've been through this before when she was 19 and I was 21. We had to go our separate ways to survive. Now, I feel that coming back and it scares the shit out of me. I don't want us to be apart. I don't want to stop going to school right now because it will be the only thing that will save me.
I just hope that I can pull through this shit storm without losing my mind.

Greetings Irregulars! It’s that time again to gather at the round table. I will be arriving at Shari's stag and a little early tonight. So I will see all of you when you arrive. As always if you make it to the table or not you are in our thoughts and in our hearts.
Love
Shawn
