In honor of the fact that I haven't blogged in almost a month, and I met my old writing friends for a carb loaded fabulous lunch today, and I'm filled with optimism and hope, well, I decided to blog.
Had a great weekend. Dinner with Usha on Friday night, despite terrible snowy conditions. Saturday, was last minute shopping and then chores. After that it was off to Connie's for our annual Christmas gathering. We hung out, had drinks, had a great dinner that Connie cooked for us, and then I spent the night.
When somebody is your friend for that long, it's just nice hanging out together and enjoying Christmas. And Connie knows me well, and always gets me the perfect gift. This year, was a gift card for Ann Taylor Loft, the movie the Holiday and some assorted treats for my movie night.
Today was the fore mentioned lunch with my wonderful writing group and our annual holiday book exchange.
One and half days of work this week and then it's onto Christmas break.
And the older I get, the more absurd romantic comedies become. With a few exceptions. One being, Love Actually.
Because it's about all kinds of love, and it truly makes me feel happy when I watch it. I defy anyone to scorn at the child who plays LIam Neeson's son, as he runs through the airport to confess his true love for a classmate.
Or the unrequinted love for Laura Linney that would be finally realized, but she won't allow her own personal happiness to interfere with the well being of her brother, who is mentally ill.

Gone a month and you're just gonna waltz in with drinks and a nice weekend to appease us? Good.
I haven't written my Christmas cards this year yet, so try to feign surprise mid-February, okay? Procrastinators never learn...sigh.
i love you kelly!
