As Hannukah comes to a close, Christmas is moments away and Kwanzaa is upon is, I'd like to take this moment to say Thank You to all who've checked in, who've read the blog, who've listened to the radio show, and who cared. For me, 2006 was a year of very high highs and some very low lows... Yet I've come to understand that that is what makes a year interesting... To all involved in the highs: thanks you so very much and may 2007 be the best year so far for you! To all involved in the lows: I wish you peace & growth and may 2007 be the best year so far for you!

Much love to all...

PEACE,

Finally out of work for the year!! First vacation in a year & a half and I'm spending it working on a BRAND NEW project! You'll be all over it in about 5 weeks! SO GLAD! Finally. '06 is almost over and, frankly, I'm glad. It's been a hard year pour moi. I'm having drinks with friends, see ya...

Well, I look forward all year to my holiday gatherings, but this was not one of my faves. In fact, my least favorite! It was originally fun, off to a decent start, though I was running around like a madman... But then, a couple of people arrived that were not in the adult, cocktail-party mode of the rest of us who'd started off, and the friends they brought with them, were even less classy... Despite the tacky ones, the majority of people were fantastic and wonderful. Though not everyone mingled well - friends and coworkers alike... I feel bad for them having to put up with riff-raff, but the jerks weren't my friends to reprimand, and after the first 2 tries, I gave up and retreated to the back of the flat with my friends. Definitely, the last of the mixed-guest-list parties...

The tree is up and lit and so am I! Just kidding.. Sort of...

Anyway, I got my tree last night and it's BEAUTIFUL. I decorated 3/4 of it last night but needed one more set of lights (bringing the total to 600 lights!) - It's 9 feet tall and, in the base, with the star on, just touches the 10 foot tall ceiling!!! I installed shelving in my kitchen this evening, finished the tree, hung snowflakes, and cleaned the kitchen. Tomorrow night, nothing gets done as I've got a work event, then Thursday & Friday, I'll clean the rest of the house, and make food. Saturday is the big party and we currently have RSVP's from about 30 people or so... Can't wait. I'll put up pictures soon...

The season's here. I'm running, running, running... Craziness. Getting my tree this evening. Party on Friday, my party is Saturday... Work is so busy and I need sleep. Otherwise it's great... except I think I need to switch to decaf...

My brother flew in (and left this morning) And we hosted other friends from NY, NJ, SF, and almost a friend from Florence, but he didn't quite make it...

Had a blast, and even an intersting story to share about a certain guest, but i may save that for later. Speaking of, I have to run; I have a date...

The Rockefeller Tree is up and being decorated (it takes a couple weeks)... The stores are mostly decorated and the lights are up (though not yet lit)... The decorations are in the windows, and on the shelves... And I'm planning.

We're doing Thanksgiving at my house again this year, and I couldn't be more pleased. I love hosting it, it's one of my favorite holidays. One of my brothers is flying in, one of my best friends is coming in from SF, and we have a group of 10-12 for dinner. I'm very much looking forward to it. Then we're doing the annual holiday party 2 weeks later and I'm working on that now as well. I still can't believe it's mid November; the year's almost over! And that's fine with me, it's been one helluva roller coaster ride... Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK! Then I'm headin gto Philadelphia for a weekend. Then the holiday cocktail party a week later, then Christmas 2 weeks later, then New Years a week later... Then a small break and then my birthday, which I'm really looking forward to this time... Don't know what I'm doing, but I'd love to travel for it again as I used to... (I wasn't able to last year) I've spent it in New York & San Francisco (obviously), Los Angeles, London, Paris (3 times) and Florence, Italy... What's next? I don't know, but we'll see! Gotta run, lots of planning to do...

So much better....

Thanks for the thoughts, Sorry I've been so spaced and distant. I realize that the accident threw me really hard, emotionally... Anyway, I've been writing a lot lately, working on a new project and going after something that I've been trying to do for a few years. Back on track! Getting ready for Thanksgiving - which is at my house, and then a holiday cocktail party next month... So, here I am, right now, figuring it all out...
