The Christmas rush

So the space between my blog posts is almost comical. It's just like my journal. Every entry starts with me writing that I should write more often!

Because I tried to relax and actually spend some time enjoying a few things during my vacation, I'm now panicking because there's so many things I didn't get done that I wanted to. Oh well. I had a couple of wonderful, wonderful visits with some of my dearest friends and I'm truly grateful. I hadn't seen one of my friends in probably 15 years and it was just lovely to get caught up and so much fun to see how you drop right back into conversations like you talk every couple of days. Loved it.

Finished most of the Christmas shopping. Now letting chicken cool so I can make chicken salad and chicken soup for the week. Just finished the filling for Chilean empnadads I'm making tomorrow and preparing to begin a batch of rugelach dough. Love the holidays.

This week was my son David's graduation from the University of Central Florida and that was spectacular. What an achievement. It's just a funny feeling because it seems like yesterday he was in Kindergarten and First Grade getting all these certificates for his excellent reading.
