The End! the end.

It is the end of November, and therefore the end of NaBloPoMo. No more daily posts. I am sure you are as relieved as I am.

Honestly I'm not sure why I kept going. There really aren't 30 consecutive posts floating around in this brain of mine. I think it is the same thing that happens when you are waiting in line and waiting and waiting and waiting and you know that you should just get out of line and leave but the longer you wait the more committed you are to waiting. Once I got started it seemed hard to stop unless there was a very good reason. I stood in that line for at least 10 posts longer than I should have.

K. has made me swear that I will not do this next year. I have duly sworn.

It's also the end of vacation. Of course I am sad to leave and worried about heading home to pick up all of the stress of our daily lives again. It is so nice to let it go for a bit. If you haven't vacationed lately, plan one! Vacations are critical to good mental health and they are self nurturing in a good way. Good for relationships. Good for thinking out of the box. Just good.

We did some shots on the beach this morning for the Christmas cards. I might have something, I mean something where Z. isn't pretending to pick her nose. What is it with the nose picking? Pick yourself a merry little Christmas? Pick your way to a happy new year? Also one where the ocean isn't slanting to the right and one where it doesn't look like there is an atom bomb exploding out of the top of Z.'s head. I might have one like that. And then again I might not.

I'm not sure what compelled me to take the shots. I have two other plans for the Christmas cards neither of which include the necessity of a beach shot of the kids. Plus I have about 5 people to send cards to this year. Last year I had very cute cards printed and then I sent out 5 of them and never got around to the others. When you do things like that no one sends you cards. This is a good plan for how to cut down your card list, should you desire to do so. The one idea I have for the cards is very cute, but it also requires that I assemble the cards. That is probably a bad idea. Except that I am only sending out 5 cards.

I don't really care. I am not in a Christmas-y mood since it has been 80+ degrees for the past 10 days and we have been swimming and sunning ourselves. Tomorrow is December. It is going to be a wake up call in more ways than one. At least I'm not in line any longer.

The End.
