Here I am, sneaking in a few words between classes. Not new to blogger, but now I also have to have a professional blog. Hmmm...I wonder if that will lead others on to this one?

So, is it a crime to still have my pumpkins on the table two weeks after Thanksgiving? The neighborhoods are increasingly lit up for the holidays as I drive home from work. Guilt? No...Pride that I am not rushing the season! Although a little rotten around the edges, my pumpkins are a badge of honor now as we approach mid-December! I have to admit , I do not want to decorate, cook, shop or wrap this season. I'm too busy with grad school and work to even think about celebrating the holidays. Bah. Humbug this year!
