The holidays have arrived! And you want me to do what? Make how many dozens of cookies? And let’s throw in the several pecan and coconut cream pies I need to make for gifting, as well as send all those holiday cards that are still sitting on the table staring at me, waiting for my happy message and signature.

Between working 10- to 12-hour days and studying for a certification test I must take by the end of this year, time is sparse. When am I going to find the time? So my time begins now.
