We are all done

we-are-all-done
Everything is turned in.

I am a happy camper. I am drinking coffee, I treated myself to a sausage wrapped in pancake on a stick – shush, it’s yummy – and I am all comfy in my chair. Today will be the day of screwing with the website, adjusting typography and putting up new info on the front page.

Presents are bought and wrapped.

I might – shocking – even call BFF Jeaniene and bug her this morning. Teeeheee.

It’s so nice not to have to do anything. I have until new year to decompress and then it’s Kate five.

:rubs hands:

It’s almost Christmas. It’s almost my birthday. I’m unreasonably excited about it this year.

:hops from one foot to another:

It’s Christmas, it’s Christmas!

    Congratulations! That has to feel good. We’re eying the weather trying to decide if we make the trip to the Midwest or not. I’m in the middle of revisions, but my mother-in-law is 90 years old. We may not have that many more holidays with her. I suspect NYC will not come to a grinding halt if my revision comes in a day or two late.

    Wishing you, Gordon and the kids a wonderful Christmas. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent. It’s always appreciated.

    Yeah! Just in time to relax and enjoy the holidays!
    BTW, while you’re futzing with computer stuff today, you might take a look at your wikipedia entry. When I searched out your blog through google (I’m at work – bad girl!) I noticed they still have your name wrong.
    Can’t wait for this summer!
    (How about giving us a snippet for Xmas?)

    MERRY CHRISTMAS!
    I’m so excited about Kate 4 i might wet my pants.
    And my boss told me that if I work extra hard today I don’t have to come in tomorrow!!!

    I’m going to burn a hole in my mousepad!!!

  13. Susie

    Happy Birthday! Everyone forgets that in all the holiday hoorah. I can sympathize as mine is the 24th. May your birthday be spent doing exactly what you want to. (Very happy about Kate 5!!!)

    My power has gone. The heating in the house is electrical, so can’t use it. It’s minus 8 celsius outside and very quickly getting colder. I can only find about 4 candles for some reason, and I can’t find my gloves cause it’s too dark in the house. I can’t read, watch tv, and my battery in the laptop has about 5 mins of power left and I am bleeping freezing.
    : (

    Meanwhile you have coffee and sausage. I think that I am going to go sulk now. Grr!!

  15. Readsalot

    1. Merry Christmas to all of you – you deserve it :-)
    2. Since you mentioned tinkering with the typeface and all – in the page where all the posts come together (one of my favourites at home and work), all the text in ALL CAPS, which is not that easy to read. But it is proper case in the actual entry. Is there a reason for this?
    3. Happy you got everything done. Cannot wait for Kate 4 and Edge 2.

    1. Sheila

      “where all the posts come together” – where? Jeez, I’d hate to miss anything.

  32. sbg2vie

    Congrats! :)
    Merry Christmas and peacefull Holidays!! May you all get your Wishes wrapped up in Fun and with a huge bow on top!!

  33. Claire

    Congrats and enjoy the time without deadlines!

    I hope you have a great birthday and that you and your family have a wonderful holiday!

    We have a little bit of snow on the ground and are hoping the warmer weather does not happen and ruin our chance for a somewhat white Christmas!

  34. Allison

    Congrats! I finally saw the word count. 115%, way to give it all you got and more!

  35. Aimee
