I read LadyStyx's and Punkn's posts about being busy, and it seems to fit all of our lives these days.

Tomorrow night after work is our "holiday party." Our company has a zero tolerance for DUI, so if we want to drink we have to either have a room at the hotel, or have a cab ride home, or have a designated driver. And the company is re-imbursing us for the hotel room. The hotel is four blocks away from our office, and I live 25 miles away, so it doesn't make sense for me to leave work at 3, drive home, change, then drive all the way back to work, then all the way home after the party (provided I don't drink).

So I'm getting a hotel room and changing there for the party, and all I have to do is go up the elevator to my room. (Hopefully I'll remember the trip up this year.) After I check out on Saturday, I am coming home, changing, packing more clothes, and spending the night at my aunt's house, dog watching. My aunt is having surgery tomorrow, and with her son working long hours, someone needs to be there to feed and let out the dog. I volunteered. I gave up getting together with a couple friends for this, lol. I won't be home until Sunday evening, I'm going to try to get some shopping done while I'm out there. I might work on my Christmas letter while I'm there. I hate my aunt's computer, so I'll probably hand write it out, then it will be easy to type up when I'm home.

So basically, I won't be around all weekend! Between work, shopping for Christmas presents, and trying to wrap presents, my blog posts might be kind of sporadic. But once the craziness that is Christmas calms down, I'll settle back into my old routine again. I'll be behind on reading blogs this weekend, but will try to get caught up next week. Maybe. I think.
