Only 4 More Days of Work!
December 16, 2003
You can tell from the number of "Lined Pages" category entries that I have been too busy to write fiction or extended essays. It's just the usual pre-Christmas frenzy coupled with so many attorneys on vacation that I am fully booked in court or depositions all day. I am still ordering certain certain gift items for the youngest kidlet on line. Send out a prayer that they arrive before Christmas so we are not the world's worst Santa parents. Bad enough that the kidlet's birthday is 12/20 and I tend to shove her parties sometime in January when I can breathe. We managed to book a party at a ridiculously expensive mini-golf place for this wekeend. I got over the shock of the price by reasoning that it was my sacrifice to the Gods of Working Parents Who Are Loaded With Guilt, and will thus prevent any further emergencies in that category for the winter. The oldest descends upon us tonight. She called last night after spending the whole afternoon taking exams. Sounded like she was on speed, but I'm sure she was just revved up from being confined for so long. Hope she gets back down to earth before tonight.
And so the holidays officially begin.....
