holiday cards and evidence of losing my mind

[destabee]

Many of my holiday cards won't reach there destination. Therefore, I declare my holiday tradition to be Happy New Year cards. Late but out is a step in the right direction as opposed to purchased and stored until the next year where they are joined by another round of purchases.

As for losing my mind, I have spent the last few days trying to figure out where I would have put the canister for my bagless vacuum. Last time I went to use it, it wasn't on the machine (I swear). Now the only reason to take it off is to empty it or clean the filter. I looked all over and had convinced myself that somehow it must have ended up in the boxes that I took to Goodwill. You can guess where this is going can't you? I just walked into use my desktop computer and the vacuum caught my eyes. The canister is installed on the machine right where it belongs. ???????

You're not the only one. I have a friend who has for years sent her cards and wishes during the lull after the big day.
I think it's a great idea even if I still race to make the deadline.

Generally on years like this one where I just can't handle holiday cards... I send Valentine's Day cards and letters. Actually people seem to like it better, the notice it, get in contact, and always say something like "It's the only Valentine I got this year" "I haven't gotten a Valentine in ages" "My only Valentine in the mail." or such.

Considering after Feb 3 my next writing deadline isn't until October (I've got three between now and 2/3) I think it's a Valentine letter and card year.
