The holidays are quickly approaching! This weekend my company hosted our annual Holiday Dinner, David and I are (almost) done with our holiday shopping, and it’s finally cold in Colorado with snow on the ground (up at work anyhow where the elevation is around 8,000 feet). David and I have ramped up our yoga routine by adding in an ashtanga class, which we love so far. We are both working long and hard hours towards our pre-Christmas conference and work related deadlines. I’ve also been making more of an effort to read before bed again (there were several weeks there where I couldn’t read past a page or two before drifting off to sleep). I am officially addicted to the Aveda rosemary mint body lotion–it totally calms me! We’ve seen a ton of movies lately: Harry Potter 4, Wallace and Gromit, Shopgirl (went with Bridget for our weekly activity), and Aeon Flux. So, between long workweeks, yoga classes, acupuncture and chiropractic appointments, movies, reading, racquetball, haircuts, Carrie’s required girl time with Bridget, upcoming sushi dates and happy hour adventures with friends, and many more holiday parties, we pretty much don’t have time for anything else. I am so looking forward to a week off at the end of the month filled with Hanukah and Christmas festivities and zero commitments.
Also, I’ve done absolutely no emailing (outside of work) in the past few months… to those of you who have written: thank you! I haven’t forgotten about you. And I hope to write back soon.
