Although I adore the hustle and bustle of metropolis living and the traffic jams to go with it, I’m happy to be back in Portland. That said, come Saturday, I depart again. This time for the homestead, by that I mean my family’s suburban hideaway outside Cleveland, OH.
It wasn’t until early today that I truly recognized the up-and-coming holidays. I guess life has just been moving too fast, not to say it’s a bad thing; in fact, I prefer it that way. I just need to get better at doing 10 things at once, which I know I am. Like today, when I went about my normal Sunday (coffee, writing, bike ride, groceries) while thoughtfully planning my holiday gift list–in my head. Then, while enjoying a homemade dinner, I found all the gifts on my list at Amazon.com. Even more amazing is the fact that everything qualified for FREE shipping, plus I don’t have to carry “jack” on the plane. Happy Holidays to me, I say!
P.S. Pray United Airlines finds my luggage before I take off again later this week. Bollocks! They found it.
While in NYC (see previous entry) aside from working my a$$ off, I saw a few things worth sharing:
- A giant Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center
- The world’s largest collection of Pennies, $1,000,000 worth to be exact (more than my blog will ever see)
- Some funny ad copy for Stephen Colbert’s book
