Turn to the skies.....and your mailboxes

December 13th....I am now officially in a state of denial as to how close we are to Christmas. Last night I was shopping on line and saw a whole mess of products with a little note underneath the product description that said, "Cannot deliver by Christmas." Arrrggghhh! I didn't want any of those things, but that's irrelevant.

Hey, if you're a astronomy freak like I am, look to the heavens tonight/early tomorrow. I don't think we're going to have clear skies in Chicago, but there's a great meteor shower tonight. Nothing better than taking that special someone out late at night, snuggled under a blanket, sipping hot chocolate (spiked of course) and watching an active meteor shower. It really is cool. Let me know if you get to see any of them. http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/space/12/12/meteor.shower/index.html

In a very Krameresque move, I've decided to keep track of the number of catalogues I receive this holiday season. The catalogue season is probably coming to an end and I'm up to 24. Hoping to reach 30 before Christmas, but there aren't many days left!

Try not to get stressed out these last two weeks before Christmas. That's NOT what the season is about!!! Oh and thanks to JJ for making me feel better about my tree with a picture of her tree. Granted, she's Jewish and shouldn't have ANY tree, so it's not completely a fair comparison.
