The waiting is the hardest part
Dec. 21st, 2012 06:26 pmAnd now begins our long international nightmare of waiting till the Yuletide 2012 archive goes live. It's kind of fun seeing all the people yelling "Bears!" and then making the cutoff, just squeaking in.
I am very excited about it this year. For the past three years, I have been either traveling, working on a tight deadline, or in a hospital tending to my dad while working on a horrendous deadline. This year I have nothing! No one is dying, no one is ill, I'm not going anywhere, and most importantly, I HAVE NO WORK. I can actually read. I think last year I read like 10 stories. And I never really had the time to go back and search for the things I wanted to read. So this year I plan to make up for it. I'm gonna wake up on December 25, and get my cereal and my iced tea, and pull out my Nook Color, and go to town. When the battery dies on that, I will get out my laptop.
And in between I will try to work on my Festivid.
Apropos of my post yesterday about our dismal, depressing, sucktastic weather again this year, I give you one of my favorite pics from Hawaii. These sweet little zebra doves were settling in for the night on a branch right outside my door at the Four Seasons Manele Bay. And that waterfall pic was taken right outside my freaking door.
