Ho Ho Hum...

I suppose I should be thinking about Christmas but as it's still 6 days away, what's the hurry?

We're not hosting this year, which is fine by me as for some reason, I'm totally bah humbug about the whole thing. I think the reason is that, for some bizarre reason, I have most of my Christmas shopping done and the fact of being relatively organised is sitting so badly with me, I'm finding it hard to cope. I'm also in a soul-searching time in my life (in case you hadn't noticed) and while yes, I like Christmas and I like shopping and I like consuming - I also feel a little paralysed and confronted by the total sham of Christmas and what it's become. Actually, why stop there - it's not just Christmas but pretty much the whole world.

Is this the first true sign of "My Midlife Crisis"?

Why are people so mean to each other? Why do people continue to ignore warning signs - of relationships in crisis, of political games, of global warming? Am I the only one who SEES?? Surely that can't be true. Surely more people know that we're in that handbasket and where we're heading?

Ack. I'm depressing myself. Time to make cookies.

Hope the cookies helped, and yep sounds a bit like midlife turmoil to me. But then again, when confronted with relationships in crisis, political games, and global warming you might have to be really nuts to not let it bother you. I love you.
