It's Christmas time? W...w-what, wh...Christmas? It's Christmas time? W...w-what, where, how ... <br />I will admit to being aware that it is December, lol, but as to the rest, I'm stammering and staring in stupified shock every time my 9 yr. old daughter feels the need to run into my office to inform me that it is 16 days until Christmas! Then, it's 15 days until Christmas, etc. I've refrained from telling her these announcements bring on heart palpitations and a cold sweat! :)<br /><br />I have about four presents, none are wrapped, and the tree is up-that's all I can manage at the moment. My focus is on the release of my first book and, while I'm really, really happy I am to be published, three days before Christmas is so not the best time for a release! <br />LOL, not going to look a gift horse in the mouth though :). Looks like I'll be scrambling through stores on Christmas Eve along with all the frantic men muttering, "what would my mother-in-law like?"<br />So happy that your family's life is on the upswing- always a thrill when we start seeing public support for our work after all those years of story scribbling, isn't it?<br /><br />Have a Happy Christmas and I'm looking forward to some blog posts (and pics!) of Devon!<br /><br />RachRachel Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15558320176729409822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630451309287425620.post-90908864906899684182010-12-12T16:52:15.791+01:002010-12-12T16:52:15.791+01:00Good morning/good day, my friend. Everything that ...Good morning/good day, my friend. Everything that you have planned sounds wonderful and I know that it will be great, no matter what. It's all about family, isn't it?<br />Thankfully, my schedule has calmed a bit. Gaynor has my second novel and now I can focus on getting those strands of lights that recently went out on my tree repaired, get my snow globe set up out front, and get those darn lights up on the house. This is what I will be doing today, but that's okay. I know my cat won't like the huge decoration on the patio in front of his second favorite window. Too bad! Ha!<br />P.S.: I haven't forgotten about your/our blog. With any luck I'll be off two weeks at Christmas and should have plenty of time to see something worth reviewing.<br />Talk to you soon,<br />-JimmyJames Garcia Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00559119178720751963noreply@blogger.com
