It's that time of year, when the pace picks up before you realize it. My birthday is only a few weeks away and I can't even remember how old I'll be. And the big Christmas shopping day follows directly thereafter (yes, I'm one of those insane people who goes out Christmas shopping the day after Thanksgiving). Right after that are birthdays (father, sister, brother-in-law), more shopping (yay) and Christmas gets closer.

I feel like I'm running at full speed just to stay even. I've worked long and hard this year, putting in lots of hours. And there's no relief in sight.

It's hard to realize that at this time next month we'll be hiking around a Christmas tree farm, picking out a tree. And daylight savings time hasn't even ended yet (that's tonight - set your clocks back !)

There are even a few Christmas shopping commercials on tv already.

Do I sound like I'm complaining? No way - I love this stuff :)
