12.24.2008 Wednesday: "Poppa, the bag behind you is on fire. So's that one."

Picture of: the luminarias on our driveway after the quote in the title was taken care of. A household tradition at our place for Christmas and its eve. The pretty part is the tradition, not the burning.

Today I: did more twittering at www.twitter.com/storyteller than I usually do; prepped, cleaned, baked, shopped, reflected, packed for the holiday tomorrow.

12.18.2008 Thursday: Sisters and Exchanges

Picture of: the "sister exchange" at our house. Another yearly tradition where the kids all give each other a single gift a bit before Christmas. Since they are all female, it's the sister exchange.

Today I: spoke on the phone to break loose some new ideas; wrote a major press release regarding Disney's "Bedtime Stories" movie now posted front page at www.storyteller.net or on my blog at www.seantells.com; returned phone calls; went to the bank to process some payments; post officed; updated my data base and prepped new mailings for the www.executivespeakertraining.com project; reserved new URLs for another project for corporate storytelling; sent a new set of notes via www.twitter.com/storyteller

12.16.2008 Tuesday: BACK!

Picture of: the results of our family tradition of "buy ornaments and eat lunch with Poppa" day. From left to right are a bird, a pig (or is it a cow) a small penguin and large penguin.

Today I: finally am able to get back into Blogger to post my blog here, so very sorry but the dashboard has been down for some time; updated my mailing list with new entries; mailed postcards; did the post office and bank gauntlet; researched a new story; spent time with my kids for our traditional lunch and ornament buying trip; enjoyed the all-day rain in our cities today; talked with family members about holiday parties; read new marketing newsletters from the guru's guru.
