Ho hum.....

Well, it has come to the end of 2011. I did not make my quota of double digit posts. And I don't see me making any more in the next couple of days. There have been so many things happening this year, you would think that I would have posted more. But so many of the things that have happened this year have been not-so-great ones. As I look back at this year, I see all of the health issues, employment issues, and deaths that have affected a lot of my family and friends. Granted, there were some good things too. I can't say it was all bad. I just haven't felt the "blog bug" as a result. Obviously. So my last post for the year 2011 will be this short one. I hope and pray that all of you out there have a good 2012. Let's all ring in a better year ahead. :)

Well then......

So yeah, November came and went and I totally missed posting for the whole month. Yeah, that's just how I roll. I suppose if I want to reach that goal of posting in the double digits by the end of the year, I could just post something small every day. Hmmmm. . . . Not a bad idea. ;) Well, we had a great Thanksgiving. The whole family was over. Huge dinner. Football in the background. Fire in the fireplace. Oh yeah. . . . I would have posted pictures of course if I had taken some. "If" being the operative word there. But instead you'll have to settle for the picture I just created in your head there in the first few sentences. Now that December is here, we (meaning I) am/are starting to decorate for Christmas. Haven't gotten the tree out yet. Just a few sprigs of greenery, a nice bright red tablecloth, a few knick-knacks here and there. I am trying to get into this slowly. Not like all the stores out there who totally ran right through Thanksgiving like it didn't even exist. I hate that. Why make the whole stressful shopping experience last longer than we need to. Can we just stop and enjoy Fall for a moment? I love Fall. It seems that it's the only season that doesn't last long enough. My pumpkin on my porch was finally added to the compost pile yesterday. YESTERDAY! Ya see folks? You CAN make it all the way through the month of November without advertising the next holiday prematurely. It all worked out. Everything is good. It's OK. So I guess that was where I have been. Not posting on my blog. Just enjoying the season of Fall. Yeah . . . . that's it. :)
