i know halloween is still two weeks away, but i’m neck deep in christmas.  drowning in it.

if my lack of blog posting has been any indication, you probably don’t need me to tell you that i’ve been inundated with work lately.  mostly under the guise of getting ready for the christmas holiday.  i’ve been asked to step it up at work, managing more intense projects than usual, taking on a trainee, and doing some other projects outside of my usual comfort zone.  while i love the challenge, i’m definitely feeling drained and anxious for the next “slow period” which, at this rate, i’m thinking might not come till january.

in addition to work, my personal life has had a bit of a “go go go” aspect to it.  i just put the 10,000th mile on my new car.  that’s a lot of miles for a car that still smells like new car.  and yet, every weekend is a new adventure.  going to the oyster festival with my dad and buying him all his favorite seafood for his birthday.  doing all my favorite fall activities with lauren’s family.  spending a long weekend at the beach with all my best friends.

so, while life is crazy right now, it is most definitely a “good crazy”.  we’ll save the quiet time for after the holidays.
