I'd like to thank the Academy...

Well, this holiday season seems to be falling around me like a blizzard. At first Thanksgiving was that early not really sticking to the ground snowfall but the past week has been a blanket of holiday activities! Shopping has kept me busy as well as Christmas parties and some wonderful evenings out.

Today though was about finishing my shopping list. As I ended up at home this evening I was terrified to look at the list & see if I had even put a good dent into what seems to be a constantly growing list... the verdict: ONLY TWO THINGS LEFT!!! HAPPY DANCE AROUND THE LIVING ROOM!

I realize that I am behind on a few things....

  2. Oh, Lord, m'dear.

    There are some bloggers who aver that to be given an award more than once is to be given license to repost the answers from the first time one was presented with said award. I'm not one of those bloggers, just so you know. :)

    So I'll say a heartfelt "Thank you" for the award, good lady. Then I'll go off and sigh a bit, 'cause now I have to share more about myself, and I know fine well what kind of info my blog followers are looking for. (Embarrassing info, if that wasn't clear already... :)
