Christmas is in Sight!

I can't believe that it's less than a week before Christmas.  I feel like I should be running around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to get everything done, but I'm really not.  I only have 1 more day of work for the week.  Its been pretty hectic with kids home from college and people wanting to use up their dental benefits for the year.  To keep us going and to ease the stress, the office has been totally bombarded with gift baskets.  We’ve had everything from Walkers shortbread and Lindor Truffles to homemade cookies and fudge.  I happen to be a chocoholic (and love other sweets too) but I usually do pretty well avoiding them.  But when my co-workers and I sit in our break-room and they’re right in front of us, they’re hard to resist!    

We are also having the most random weather.  We had a light dusting of snow on Sunday, but the past couple of days it has been in the 50’s, tomorrow the weatherman said it may get to 60 degrees.  My forsythia bushes are budding and even have a few blooms on them.  This is December, right? 

The dogs are doing pretty well.  Todd is not attending day-camp this week. He’s now more than 8 months old, so I’m trying to get him used to staying home during the day.  He does stay in a crate while we’re gone, and the dog-walker does come midday and he gets a break.  The past couple of days, he seems to have a  real fascination with Carl's computer.  It makes me wonder what he’s doing when we're not around?  

I hope your week is going well!!
