Things are heating up around here. I have a long list of last minute items to purchase for the holidays, so I have to make another trip to the mall. A luncheon with the special ed PTA moms at noon. Drinks with a friend tonight.

I continue to sell books on my Etsy shop, which is a nice surprise. My inventory has dwindled, so after the holidays, I’m going to load up at estate and library sales. I’ve been fanticizing about turning my basement into an e-business selling books by the foot. Look the Strand does it. I made the mistake of doing research before I went to bed, so I woke up at 2:30 thinking about organizing books. I never went back to sleep.

I’m also trying to wrangle my photographs for the year into some sort of order. I took almost 2,000 pictures this year. I need to cull the mess and find a few of my kids without silly expressions for the Christmas card. I also really should make a proper photo album, so that we can actually enjoy the pictures instead of letting them rot on my hard drive.

Digital camera have meant more pictures. More good pictures. But the quantity kills me.

So, I’ll be here as time permits today.
