Ahhhhhhh . . . the weekend

Sort of a tough week, and so I'm looking forward to the weekend. Not that it means lying around watching TV and getting nothing accomplished. I've got more decorations to get out, cooking to do for a neighbor and his boys whose wife is out of town with a sick parent, have to take the screens off of the windows in preparation for the house being painted, work on my Secret Santa gift for the office gift exchange, get Christmas cards out. Lots on my weekend plate but none of it has to do with client deadlines, presentations to get out the door or staying on top of everyone's workloads. These TO DOs are accompanied by Christmas music, a lit tree, a sweet daughter around, a big fuzzy dog at my side, the smell of something delish baking in the oven, cool crisp air giving me a reason to build a roaring fire, and, more than likely, a glue gun in my hand.
