I am trying ultra hard not to fling myself with abandon onto this very couch I am sitting on and surrender to delicious, delicious sleep. There’s just TOO. MUCH. TO. DO.

But I am not going to bore you into the tedium of my to-do list (clean up all of Christmas, shop and pack for 7 day cruise, prepare house to be vacant for 10 days, oh yeah, and plan a birthday party for immediately when we get back) but instead, TA-DA! I am going to give you a Christmas present!

I was going to take a 7 day hiatus from the blog, because I am lazy about figuring out really simple things like how to edit a timestamp on a post so that it appears on a certain day, but then by accident I figured it out! Because that’s how I do things. So then I decided that I would just go ahead and write seven blog entries, timestamp them, and let them post away while I am in the tropics.

Sorry if what you really wanted was an iPod. This is all you’re getting.
