drink and be merry

coming back to work after having four and a half days off is very difficult, especially when you are feeling a bit under the weather. i suffered through two cups of terrible tasting work coffee and then moved on to spending time with my new favorite tazo tea Organic Apple Red. also, i have substituted werther's originals for cough drops because of their obvious advantages in tastiness. yumm.



i spent the weekend making baked christmas goods, watching christmas films, and looking at christmas lights. it was a good use of 4 days off and definitely made me miss life before forty hour work weeks and eight am mornings. maybe there will be freedom again one day. irregardless, i am excited to give everyone their presents. i think i did really good this year. i've been in the holiday spirit more this season than i have in years and that has definitely helped to calm the nerves.

i'm excited to go home tonight, drink a glass or two of wine, listen to some Frank, and wrap some christmas presents. it sounds incredibly relaxing and now that the shopping is officially over that is all i want to do; drink and be merry. the year is almost over and it's time to look ahead at all i want to do next year and all the changes i want to make. time to formulate a plan. when 2010 hits, i'll be ready.
