Happy Holidays

Merry Christmas to those of you who celebrate it. Happy Hanukkah to those of you who are already in the middle of it. And a wonderful relaxing time of school and work to everybody!

Here’s what I’m doing today.

  • Getting over my cold
  • Baking a Lemon Sponge Pie and a Chocolate Chip Cheesecake (With four people for Xmas dinner this could be considered overkill, but variety and leftovers are never a bad thing!)
  • Tidying my desk (maybe)
  • Reading Girl, Hero by Carrie Jones and loving it
  • Wrapping one more present
  • Thinking about stocking candy
  • Laundry
  • Relaxing

Here’s what I’m NOT doing

  • Writing (except for my blogs)
  • Worrying about not writing (okay, maybe only a little bit)
  • Nagging at any of you to write (I don’t want your brains to implode)

But, boy do I plan on coming back refreshed, OVER this cold, and ready to dig back in.

How about you?

  1. Same as you for the most part. Tried to shake off a cold, made cheesecake (cheated by using the instant Jello brand), but mostly enjoyed time with family.

    As for the writing, exactly the same as you! Although, I managed to edit five or so pages yesterday.

    I hope you’ve kicked your cold by now.

    Happy New Year!

  2. Cheesecake must be the new mince pie. Thank goodness!

    Yay for the five-page edit. And glad you had a relaxing holiday. Happy NY to you, too!
