Time Change, Time for Change

Where did the year go?

Once again, we get an extra hour to fill with things to do, mostly holiday shopping for me right now. Yeah, I'm that girl. I will have all my shopping and wrapping done by Dec 1st, with the exception of baked goods. Cause really, nothing says happy holidays like stale cookies!!! I've been that girl for years. Spending time in radio, you know that December is a busy month with charities, and christmas parades, and holiday parties. This will be the first year I don't have to worry about walking in christmas parades in every town for 30 miles and throwing candy at poor unsuspecting children. This year, freezing my ass off for the sake of ratings had been replaced by bring cheer to others by way of holiday parties that are hosted at the restuarant. It's like a dream come true! Throwing parties in my place where I don't have to wash dishes, worry about the furniture, or run out of booze! Now, I can sit back, enjoy the holidays and "Merry Christmas to all!" Not really. Starting in less than a month, I will begin working 7 days a week. I have a feeling once Christmas actually gets here, I will be looking for the inspiration that makes my usualy holiday spirit flourish.

Before the frenzy of twinkle lights and garland, I'm trying to enjoy this great fall. I threw a dinner party last night, very small. 3 people, but it can be a dinner party with 1 person! Sitting outside, roasting homemade marshmellows, and laughing, trying to keep the puppies from out of the gooey mess I dropped...it was a good moment.

This still my weekend, so I've got a few things left to do.

Before I go, I thought a couple of pictures would be in order...
