Okay, the months seem to be shrinking as I get older. I could swear that I was just shopping for Halloween costumes a couple of weeks ago, and now I’m shopping for Christmas which is just a couple of weeks away. I hope this isn’t a progressive trend as the years go by, because at this rate by the time I’m 40 a whole year will feel like just twelve weeks.
Or maybe it has nothing to do with me getting older. Maybe I’m just anticipating the Holidays a lot more than I used to. Not because I’m looking forward to receiving gifts – there’s not even anything that I want for Christmas. As cheesy as it may sound, it’s the giving of gifts that I’m really looking forward to. My heart warms and swells at the thought of seeing the looks on my little boys’ faces when they wake up on the 25th and cheer what Santa will left them underneath their tree this year. I look forward to the smiles from my parents when they see what I’ve gotten for them, and get phone calls from my friends about packages from me they received in the mail. Even the husband might get me in special stockings – er hm, I mean get something special in his stocking from me. Yeah, that’s what I meant.
The spirit of giving is definitely with me this year. How about you?
And speaking of giving – a pal of mine has a contest going on over at Obfuscation of Reality where a signed urban fantasy book is being given away to a winner. If you like urban fantasy as much as I do, you should go check it out!

Yeah I saw where Tyhitia had completed the mission. I’ve never read urban fantasy before. Looks and sounds interesting.
Far as gifts, I have about five people who are deserving. Six, including me.
here’s some easy money (a few dollars) for you. i know you don’t need it, but what the hell, right?
