Been awake since 3 - got up at 4 to work on annual assessments - did laundry & straightened up house instead... will try going into office early - maybe I can focus there better.
Need to start thinking about Christmas gifts - (Red, this is why I can identify with your hubby - so many things to do, so much to get ready & so little time)... Oh well, Christmas always comes whether I'm ready or not & we all survive.
We learned last year that it doesn't take that much (in terms of gifts) to make Christmas - just time together with those we love. (Just writing this out is making me feel better - see what a great support group this is! 
)Hope that those who are snowed-in get shoveled out, those who are traveling are safe, & those who are panicking like me, calm down.
Well, miss a day, miss a lot! I'm back! 
Typical of "groops" from a sociological point of view--as they grow, they tend to form "groops" within the "groop," those groops "splinter" off, & as that "splinter groop" grows, the same is very likely to happen to it. More people brings more personalities, & people gravitate toward those individ-als who are most like themselves...yes, & they begin to share more intimately & desire their own "groop." Yet, easy to see it as a "slap in the face." Please let me again say, that's jst the nat-re of groops! Lesson done....Okay, I had a lovely time in NYC, not excited abot having a head cold (not invincible with the flew shot!), & am very happy to be back 
That's "objectivity"!!!! Dang cold has my head in a fog!
