Staying sane...

Here's how I will survive the crazy week leading up to Christmas...

• Making time to see friends, even though the pile of work on my desk just doesn't seem to shrink
• Getting a good haircut...good hair equals one less thing to worry about
• Hugs from the cat
• Making Rocky Road
• Gift wrapping purchases in our new black tissue, coloured satin ribbon combo - makes me smile
• Watching mindless TV on youtube, like the latest ANTM
• Fresh frangipani flowers on my desk
• Eating old-skool After Dinner Mints...comforting childhood memories of corduroy, skivvies and intriguing adult laughter, late at night
• Fresh fruit salad (must have exotic fruit), balances out chocolate indulgence
• Wearing my lucky Poker Chip necklace by Trinket at all times
• The soothing sounds of B-Flo live at Abbey Road
• Creative outlet: winter shoot planning
• Taking first dibs at new Milk and Honey stock
  
• Practising what I preach and shopping online: here, here and here
• Planning my next trip to the states...in my head...got to start visualising
  
• Browsing in book stores, preferably Ariel, probably Borders
• Losing myself in photographs by Michael E. Gordon and Alicia Bock
  
• Speaking to my sisters on the phone
• Reading other blogs - Hula Seventy always inspires
  
• Having a laugh with Dan and Beth....a)when things go wrong b)over Beth's endless Borat and Will Ferrel impersonations c)when things go right
• Sleep
