I’ve got two words for you.  MY. GOODNESS!

I really didn’t think it was possible for things to get any crazier – and yet – somehow – they did!    I’m not barely in the holiday spirit this year because – I don’t know how it’s already December 23rd!!!!  I’m still stuck in October thinking I’ve got time before the holiday!!  (I’m going to be one of those people out shopping tonight and tomorrow…   )

If you read the blog regularly – you also know I’m a maniac glutton for punishment spaz who always likes to take on a lot, and I can’t just let one thing fall by the way side! So if it means I’m awake for 22 hours a day – I’m awake for 22 hours a day.    I’m sick, I tell ya. 

I digress! I bring this all up because…

In the whirlwind that has been my life, I’ve been doing a lot, getting lots of fun presents for the holidays , giving lots of fun presents for the holidays (at least I THINK they are fun) – and the ONLY thing I have pictures of yesterday…are my boring boring boring meals that I managed to make quickly, and chow down in order to keep moving at lightening speed.  Go figure! 

PB&J breakfast: Totally random, thrown together lunch – sweet potato & cuke with hummus: But don’t worry – I didn’t STARVE myself…There have been treats out the WAZOO at work this week!

My friend Jen brought in some struffoli (apparently a treat from Southern Italy that she just whipped up – I felt so cultured! ) Followed up with some DD, some kick BUTT homemade crumb cake from Kristin, and a plate full of homemade cookies! I’ve definitely helped myself to some of the home made sweets – I just can’t pass on sweets when I know there is family tradition involved! (or at least – that’s my story – and I’m sticking to it!)

By the time I got home from work and then Christmas shopping last night – it was 9:15!!!   My hunger made me smart though – and at my last stop (the grocery store) – I made sure to pick up a ready made dinner so I could devour eat without having to worry about prep! California roll with brown rice?  Done, and done!

I’ve crossed a few people off my list – just a few more to go – and I hope to have them all done tonight!  I’m done with work for 4 days straight – and there’s an end in sight!  CHRISTMAS HERE I COME!
