I missed your blogalicious presence and hope you had a wonderful holiday week.<br /><br />And, yes, I have definitely felt some added stress lately - but that could just be as a result of juggling too many things at once.<br /><br />BTW, I appreciate your plan for the next few weeks - to discuss publishing contradictions. Seems there are plenty out there - number one being the dastardly query letter.

Wanted to write all week, but alas, volunteering at the school library, orthodontist appt, grocery shopping, a party at my place, an hour to the airport, lunch with an old friend, and visiting an older friend all loom on my calendar this week.

I think we all agree that this time of year is filled with much chaos and stress. Busy Bees buzzing everywhere. Though I'm not one of those bees. Being raised as a Jewish Messianic, I really don't celebrate Christmas. But I must say, I still enjoy the lights, the decorations, the happy tunes, the Christmas movies, but most of all the spirit of giving and joy that lingers in the air. Have fun in your endeavors this season!Ellie Kingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14711249217634726986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515903861204137058.post-78595533622085958592009-11-30T14:41:02.921-06:002009-11-30T14:41:02.921-06:00Hey Susan!!!
