Gettin Down to Business

Christmas Newsletter

So I really need to get my creative juices in gear and get goin on my Christmas Newsletter. As previously mentioned, I indulged in sleeping in this morning… probly got up around 9:45. I also caught myself in the start of another Pace-and-Think session, so I set myself down in front of the puter to catch up on my blogging. My brain’s not engaging into composition mode very well at the moment, though… took me a while to catch up on Thanksgiving’s activities cuz I keep wandering.

So I think I’ll keep this short. My gameplan for today will probly be to review my Christmas mailing list… which entails going over the cards peeps sent me last year, the cards I got back returned to sender, cross checking new addresses, and reviewing previous newsletters to get some ideas about what to update and include in this year’s offering. Hopefully I’ll be able to sit down and focus tomorrow or Sunday to actually start writing it. It usually doesn’t take too long. In fact, before I realize it, I’ll have 4 pages churned out and I’ll have to start editing and resizing to get it down to a decent length. And even then, I’ve been accused of writing War and Peace… lol Shocker, right?

Decorate?

Otherwise, I hope to finish up the little straightening-up I still have left in the library. Plus, I’m thinking about MAYBE starting to decorate for Christmas. I’ve foregone very much decorating the last few years, cuz all of my decorations are so carefully packed in storage, and pulling it all out and then putting it all back after the holidays just was too much work for me to admire my apartment all by myself.

However, with Fussbudget coming to visit, I have a reason to share a li’l bit of Christmas decorating spirit. We’ll see how I feel… and how much I get accomplished on my newsletter. If all else fails, I still have next weekend to decorate... and clean. Oh, and speaking of Fussbudget, I’ll need to call her today to wish her Happy Birthday. :)

So until tomorrow… signing off.
