Image via WikipediaI turn into a Grinch this time of year. So...I'm apologizing for my absence from the blog. The traffic, the "gimme gimmes," the general commercialization of Christmas...it all sends me into hiding. I've been hiding from social media, from my blog, even from my (*gasp*) writing. Our offices at work are right across from a large mall, and there's an added 10-15 minutes to my commute time each evening now, which only adds to my holiday frustration. As a society in general, I feel we've forgotten what Christmas is really all about, and it saddens me. It makes me feel as though all the joy has been sucked out of Christmas.I hope life will return to semi-normal after the holidays. And since Will's final tuition payment arrived in my inbox yesterday, I (hopefully) won't feel broke anymore! We haven't had debt since July 2007, but making those tuition payments for the past two years has felt like debt hanging over our heads. We've cash flowed every bit of it, and with multiple visits from Murphy, I am so over college tuition.
Merry Christmas (bah humbug)! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season. And if you don't hear from me, I'll be back in the New Year...writing.
