I hate to admit it but at least for the past few weeks I've joined the lame group of people who get stressed out around the holidays. I have always loved Christmas and the sooner the radio started playing Xmas songs 24/7 the better. However, this year with the adoption, travel and work it is very stressful. When writing this I realize that and adoption and travel are two wonderful things. I've need to try and flip my outlook and live by the Monty Python Creed "Always look on the bright side of life..."

Well, I've been out of blog-touch for a bit because of computer problems...and I'm happy to see that the blog is really thriving lately! Also, I'd like to give grat great thanks to my brother for walking me through the computer troubles--wow! he's so smart! what had my husband and I very crabby and frustrated he breezed through! So thanks TC.
So, I'd like to comment on a couple of recent blog issues. Well, I think that people don't send each other enough letters! Letters are such magical things--whereas emails just don't have the same charm. Perhaps some of it is the thought that went into the letter--knowing the time it takes to compose a letter and the real sense of hope and patience that the sender has to put it in a blue box knowing days later it will arrive right at your doorstep and give a pause and cheer to your day...ah...the art of letters. (Of course that is the romanticized version). Once, I had a boyfriend and we would write to each other almost everyday--and we would have entirely separate conversations in our letters than we did on the phone etc. It was wonderful.
Ah, the forty-hour work week. How terrible. Obviously, I am doing everything in my power to NOT work. Well, okay, yes, I aspire to have a full-time job--but one that allows me summers off and many work at home hours. I just don't understand why almost everyone doesn't want to be a professor--I mean summers off!
The name game. I just love it! Two people in my knitting group are expecting a baby (any day now!) and so every week as we click away we mull over baby names. The best part is, I think no matter what you name a baby...that baby is going to be so beautiful, and then the name is transformed...no Amelia is like your Amelia, no Albert like your Albert. It's so neat. Of course, I do realize there are more practical things to consider--how the first name sounds with the lasts, what the name may rhyme with, etc etc.
Well, I hope I haven't gone on too long.
Happy Holidays to all,
Ka
