Well, at least we continue to have rain. That's a positive thing. I am very tired, and have a lovely little cold brought about (I suspect) by the rain that has resulted in continual sneezing and blowing of the nose.

It's been a busy month, and a glimpse at the calendar reveals that the rest of the year is going to be just as busy. Mr. Manners and I have ONE free weekend between now and Christmas. One! Christmas is...ten weeks away? I have already completed half my Christmas shopping, and purchased my cards and made my list of card recipients. Haven't I been a busy bee! We've tickets for the Nutcracker, plans to go to Charlotte for the Ren Fest, birthdays, Handel's Messiah, Christmas, etc. And then it will be 2008.

I'm already working on my New Year's Resolutions...and the number one resolution is to toughen up.

As in, stop being so whiny. Get more aggressive about school. Finish the projects I need to finish around the house (and accept the fact that I'm stuck with that particular bad decision for a while). Learn to let go of the past; it's there, it happened, it isn't my whole life. Play more. Love life. Those kind of things.

What are yours?
