What Keeps You Sane During the Holiday Week?
Yes, Christmas day 2010 is behind us, but we’re not out of the woods yet. This is an off-kilter week, capped by New Year’s Eve, which is almost as fraught as Valentines Day. What’s worse is my favorite TV shows are on hiatus, and the neighborhood park, where I just returned from walking my dog, is crammed with happy families. (Okay, maybe they’re not happy. Maybe they’re looking at me with envy.) Apart from the time consuming love fest I’ve got going on with my pets, other activities include: watching all the potential Oscar movies, checking out a William Eggleston exhibit, catching up on back issues of The New Yorker, and toning my abs. What about you?

It was a weird week, wasn’t it? I sort of took an impromptu vacation. I hosted an after Christmas party on Wednesday night and an after New Year party on Sunday afternoon. I’m still trying to get rid of all the leftover food – it was good – I just made too much – I think it’s genetic. Hosting a party forced me to get some things done around the house, so that was good. Now I’m having a hard time getting my body and mind back into work mode…
Good for you for giving yourself a vacation. I’m glad that holiday week is over. (Not my favorite.) How about your New Year’s resolution? http://bit.ly/e9SNAP
