Okay. The time has come. All the empty storage boxes are in the house. Does anyone want to take down all my Christmas decorations for me-- because I certainly don't! In fact I've been all crafty working on new decorations for next year. How's that for being swept along by a current in the river of Denial?
Not many links this week, I'm afraid. Besides being crafty, I've been reading some books that just don't want to turn me loose-- and the weather has been absolutely lovely. Want an example? At 7 PM on January 1, I was sitting outside in my shirt sleeves. You can't do that just anywhere!
But I digress. I'll get back to normal soon. Until then, here are some links for you. Enjoy!

Cathy - Always love your weekly links roundup. And I can think of worse things to do than sit outside reading enjoying the weather. A good excuse if ever there were one :-).
ReplyDeleteReally good stuff in the news this week...love reading it!! :)
ReplyDeleteI loved the Urban Decay photo's..so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMy old-fashioned ways conform to the writers who don't use computers at least for first drafts. I like pad and pen for first drafts as well, then rewriting on the computer. It makes a writer slow down and think before composing a sentence.
ReplyDeleteInteresting links as always!
ReplyDeleteMargot-- We see eye-to-eye on so many things! LOL
ReplyDeletePPh.D-- I'm so glad! :)
