The Countdown

The year is closing in and I don't know how many more posts I'll manage. I usually only post when the house is pretty quiet and with four kids and a husband about to start holidays I can't see much quiet in the near future. It's silly really, I'll also be on hols and it would be the perfect time to enjoy writing. Yet another case of "c'est la vie"

The Christmas tree went up on the weekend and I was pleased to get that done more than our usual four or five days before Christmas. The kids love to put the tree up and I always feel that I have failed them a bit when it takes me so long to get into the spirit.

I had my usual pre-Christmas stress out on the weekend too. ( or maybe that's a December stress out or a weekend stress out. The trigger could really be anything ) It happened after a shopping trip, not a particularly gruelling trip shopping wise but the last of a long line of them.

Blogger have featured one pic a day for December. It has some great photography and a compelling, if slightly frustrating story to go with it. The guy has gone from getting 50 hits a day to 10 000. Amazing. Check it out.

Running out of time so I must fly.

  2. You are both too silly. I just found this and laughed way too hard. Eclectica, I'm almost 50, have a hubby, way to many kitties, a dog, a mortgage, a BMW to support, feral kitties at the park to feed, etc...trust me, I'm not someone anyone would want to get "cozy" with! Particularly a guy like 1pic (Sir O)! Thank you for making my day because this was simply brilliant! God, how was I fortunate enough to meet all of you?

    yes, onepic, your story is improving now but it was frustrating before, for me and i suspect for you.
    the cozy thing wasnt like that....i was just amazed by the way things went with you both...wanted a piece of the action
    thanks again

  4. The reality is me and 1pic are just that...me and 1pic! Like brother and sister. Perfect. Wouldn't have it any other way. Have you noticed he likes younger women? I would never be his cup-o-tea!!! Nor would I want to. I like my life exactly as it is. And his cup-o-tea isn't what I would recommend for him, but I'm not him. I'd rather he meet a nice older women with more maturity and a bit of elegance...but I don't think that's ever going to happen!!! He just seems to hone in on stupid younger women! Oh well...his loss. Perhaps HE has a lot of growing up to do at 50...not just the girls! You get what you give.

    After reading his blog, I simply love him for who he is. And do I agree with everything? No. Absolutely not. He can be a complete asshole to be quite frank, but I still love him and hope to have him in my life for at least the next two decades!!! I've realized I've never left his blog confused. I have a very clear picture of where I want his life to go and where I want mine to go. He might not listen to me, but I have to. And so I will.

    Thanks for your kind words, both on my blog and here. We'll keep in touch. Just because it will be so much fun. And what made me laugh, is your desire to be in on "the action!" I thought that was brilliant and honest.

    Happy Holidays!
