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 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...

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...
