December 3rd, wow. How did that happen already? Soon, the hustle and bustle of the holidays will get everyone going....well, maybe....the economy is not exactly welcoming the holiday season. Still I paid $1.71 for gas yesterday and actually filled up the car for less than $20. That warrants a celebration in and of itself!

Seriously, 22 days until Christmas. Ooooo, it's so exciting. Well, sort of. I feel like there is much to do, but I already started putting up my decorations. I think I will save the tree for last. It is so much work and if I get enough of the other stuff up, well, maybe I won't need a tree! Nah, I need a tree. Yeah, I do. Okay, I'll put it up. But I'm still saving it for last. It's so much work. Unless somehow I downsize it. I could do that. We'll see.

So I've been giving careful consideration to my earning potential. I have many logs in the fire? Is that how they say that? Many spokes on the wheel.....I'm not sure.

I am reminded of the other day, I said to H, "Asking me to do that, is like asking a horse not to run." For which, she gave a funny look. So I said, how about, "Asking a fish not to fly? A bird not to swim? Ooops, reverse that." She gives me a lot of funny looks. I wonder why.....
