Soulstice

It's the shortest day of the year, so I better type fast.

What are the odds of my pulling up behind a red Pontiac Solstice at the stop light today? I had never even heard of that particular model car before today... I tried to determine what might be the cosmic inference and I couldn't come up with anything significant. Maybe a red car is just a red car, and the Winter Solstice happens about this time every year.

Four days till Christmas. That should be just enough time for me to really catch up with the Spirit of the Season. Being that my "love language" is giving, I happily already have a closet filled with gifts that I purchase all year round. That means I had only a few things to purchase for Christmas gifts; and the gifts that I like to wait till the last minute to buy. Knowing I have all my shopping complete, makes for a much nicer mien while waiting in those long lines. I choose to be shopping under the wire and I enjoy it to boot.

Don and I finished our Christmas cards last night and almost have our wedding thank-you's complete, too. Our goal is to be complete with all the cards before the new year. Oh and by the way, my mini-post on this blog proved successful in that our French Press benefactor identified himself and can now be appropriately appreciated.

"Sweeney Todd" opened today and I can hardly wait to see it. Johnny Depp and Stephen Sondheim--two of my favorites (for very different reasons). I know it will be dark and the review in the N.Y. Times confirms it is a classic horror masterpiece. Guess I will need to see it earlier in the day so it doesn't linger before I go to bed. In the meantime, I will watch a re-run of "White Christmas." And did anyone in real life ever have as tiny a waistline as Vera Ellen--other than the first Barbie doll?

Looking forward to the holidays and the time off I can spend with My Husband and my kitty girl.
