better late than never

voila! chez hessie version 2.5!

i’m very pleased with how everything came together considering it was all accomplished by hunches and happenstance. of course, now i’m getting ideas about how to revamp other areas of the apartment, but i’m going to try very hard to hold off on acting on them… at least until the new year.
looking at my calendar for the next two weeks is stressing me out. a lot. there’s just so much going on between now and xmas that i wonder if i’ll make it without becoming a totally evil bitch-hag. it’s potluck season, so i’m freaking out over what to bring. it’s baking season, so i’m freaking out about getting supplies and getting it all done in one day. there’s a lot of work stuff which is cutting into my routine, so that’s got me tense (not to mention my boss being in perma-overdrive which makes me even more twitchy). i really want to have some people over but it seems that every other minute i’m adding something to that damn calendar which cuts into my available time.
maybe i should start drinking heavily. mm, egg nog. that’s a pretty heavy drink.
even with the scheduling stresses, i’m really into the spirit of the season this year (unlike last). decorations are up in my place and at work and i can’t wait to hear xmas music in the office. i’m sure it’s got a lot to do with the fact i’m generally happier than i was last year. my house is in order, my friends are awesome, i’ve got an amazing and wonderful boy in my life, my parents are both healthy and happy… seriously, why shouldn’t i be happy and excited to celebrate the time of year when it’s all about appreciating the good things in life?
i totally wish i could give each and every one of you a big hug. *squeeze*
