And So This is Christmas

And I haven't done much... Just looking for something.... chocolate to munch.

Today we are celebrating Christmas before leaving for our week long adventure into the wilds of Minnisota. I don't feel ready for Christmas... Like it shouldn't be here quite yet, but I also feel very ready for a vacation. I am tired. I ran into a brick wall on Tuesday and don't think I'll recover until 2006!

I had big plans for this week - I was going to work hard and get so much accomplished. I planned out tasks for each day (7 Habits training) and made priorities for the week. So much for my plans! It has been a week of people needing my help, needing my hand, needing my ear. So, I haven't gotten to my plans, but I suppose I've been useful.

Oh - Congrats to Mimlap! You go girl! You Rock!

For those of you who haven't checked it out yet - here is a link to some really cute pictures of my sister's baby:

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Life - or Something Like It

This was a crazy, busy week - and now I'm sick and sore. This was conference week and our annual general meeting... so it was crazy busy and a bit stressful, although also enjoyable seeing everyone one and getting sessions together, etc., etc.

There have also been a lot of changes in my life this week. My executive committee (who I meet with monthly) has shifted. There are mostly the same people, but in different positions... And now I am concerned that meetings are going to be more then a little tense! Also, an opportunity I have been considering is off the table. So things have really changed.

Also, after conference week, I almost always get sick. This time I have a cold coupled with lower back pain. I guess it is my body's way of saying - you need to slow down for a few days!

So - there it is, my week in a glance.
