Holiday time!

In my week off I’ve managed to get Gary’s Store up and running (check out his new shirt that we’ll be getting in the new year) and come up with a concept for a new redesign for Digital Masquerade. I still have a lot of work to implement it but overall I’m pretty excited. I did a few other things in my week off, but those two in particular made me feel very accomplished.

I also got to spend some time with a few of my friends I’ve been neglecting and some quality time with Gary. Overall I can’t complain about this week, it’s left me feeling warm and loved.

Right now we’re getting ready to head over to my Mom’s for our Christmas Eve tradition where we gather at my grandmother’s with the whole extended family and talk about our lives. Really, we are all silently judging one another and Gary and I will be the token “freaks” that baffle the family with the fact that we are successful in our chosen careers. I’ve gotten past the point of caring, and am just pleased to be able to be able to spend time with my Mom, sisters, grandmother, the aunts, uncles and cousins that I do adore.

Christmas Day will be an early dinner with my sisters and Dad and then we head over to London to spend the week there. We’ll be back on Friday night, just in time to get ready for my 31st birthday on Saturday.

That was strange seeing my age in writing. I thought when I reached my 30’s I’d be wearing ill fitting pants, knee high nylons, a bad floral shirt and would have teased hair. Thankfully that hasn’t happened…yet.

Have a wonderful holiday everyone…spend time with the people you love and try eat as much holiday baking as you can, because it only happens once a year.
