You know how I've not been around much lately?
Mainly because this was the November that threatened to kick my ass?
Well... it hasn't.
HAH!
The month is almost over - as are all the crazy time over-commitments* I made! YIPPEE!!!
So - I'm back.
Almost...
(I know, I know... you were holding your breath for this day, right?)
I'm spending this week trying to catch up on the past month of blog reading
(and might I just say "damn you, NaBloPoMo?" 'Cause all you people posting every day? Making it very difficult to get caught up... that's all I'm saying**) and then I think I'm ready to start posting again.
Honestly, I've missed blogging - both the reading and the writing
(although, I believe that I'm a better reader/commenter than actual content provider) - and I'm ready to ease back in.
For you see, this last month hasn't been all "work and no play" - there's been a lot of play too. The real problem with November wasn't non-stop hideous drudgery
(although there was too much of it!) The real problem was that there was too much of everything! Lots of activities, lots of friends, lots of travel, lots of food - so I've got a lot of stuff that I thought was interesting, that I'd like to share, from the past month.
So - I think the next few weeks -
heck, maybe the entire month of December? - are going to loosely follow the theme of "
things I love."
It's true that I may not have done the actual thing that I'm posting about on the actual day that I post it - but it's something that I liked well enough that I thought "
I want to share that some day."
Hopefully, it'll still seem timely...
And on that note -
and since I've not got my thoughts and photos organized to do some of that aforementioned sharing - I leave you with two quick links to things I'm loving today...
- FREE RICE - Let me just tell you - I am love, Love, LOVING this... Increase your vocabulary *and* feed the hungry? Does it get any better than this? Seriously - run, go play! Now!
- The Threadless $10 Sale - OK, this is somewhat less altruistic (one of the Free Rice words I got right this morning!) but still fun, albeit in a different way. I love so many of the Threadless designs - and at $10 a pop? Fabulousity...
I got Schecky a couple of shirts, including Pillow Fight, and the Luckiest T-Shirt Ever.
What he really wanted? This one. To which Bubba and I both said "NO" - and then promptly snuck off to the other room where we laughed and laughed and laughed about it.
This is another Run! Go Play! site, because the shirts are selling out quickly...

And, so help me, kick me if I start all this volunteering nonsense again, 'K?**
And, I *know*, I *know* - no one's MAKING me catch up... I just WANT to. It's hard to be Obsessive Compulsive. Really, truly it is...
