Welp, it's been a while since I even logged on to the ol' VR. Since going on the cruise, my whole "groove" has been thrown off kilter.
See, the cruise was the longest vacation I have taken in 10 years. I have not taken anything longer than and extended weekend in that time, never mind a whole 2 weeks! It threw off my house chore schedule, my internet "responsabilities" (re: e-bay), et cetera. I've been playing catch up with myself this whole time. I've got to get back into my routine, and having a giant Halloween party and a computer malfunction so soon after returning from overseas didn't help. I'm just starting to get my groove back into synch, so hopefully I'll have more time to get back on here. I was just starting to rather like this place before the vacation, too. :-)
Looks like while I was some places have "force inducted" me into their little cliques. I don't really care, but they probably will since I don't feel like living up to any sort of expectations these inductions may include. You can force me to be a member, but you can't force me to do anything. Like I said, I may or may not even have the time to log into this place, never mind put in any kind of face time with fellow house or covens or whatever the heck goes on around here. They inducted me, it's not like I went around begging for membership. Meh, evs, dude.
Anyway, I despise the winter holiday season as it causes me a great deal of stress, so there is a very real possability that after today I may not even log in again until after new year's. Yes, really. All the list making and gift buying gets me all in a tizzy. I cannot wait until it's all over and done with and my blood pressure can go back down. Blarg.
Also thanksgiving is this week and many relatives and the giant circle jerk that is the dinner table. I can't stand that crap, but I put in an appearance anyway for their sake, because they think if I don't that I don't love them, when I do, only one at a time and in small doses >;-)
On that note, happy holidays, one and all.

Damn this post hit so close to home.... I could have written it. It also took me over a month to log on here and then I just couldn't seem to enjoy things like before the cruise....
I am also really ready for the holidays to end. I am sick of the commercialism of Christmas... I would love to just enjoy the majic of the season... but alas the family would also think I don't love them if I don't participate.... just like at Thanksgiving. So I run errands at odd hours and hide at home during the rush hours. I stare at the beautiful Christmas tree and wonder..... How have we come to this.
anyway, new subject.... the hand is shook and we look forward to seeing you again when you log on later.. It was really cool meeting ya'll on the cruise and I hope that we will be able to see both of you in the not tooo distant future.
Blessings to you and your family. and Happy New Year.... I hope that 2009 will be better to us all.
Cheers (missing my open bar card!) Cathy
