Somehow or other, tomorrow is December 21st, which means T-minus 4 days till we need to have all of our presents not only bought, but also wrapped.
But that’s not all. December 21st is also the first day of Capricorn, which means I owe you all a gluten-free astrology post. Unfortunately, for the first time, this flighty Gemini is blowing it off—for now. I’ll get to you guys soon, I promise! Just been a little too busy to get it together.
What’s keeping me so busy? Well . . .
A little of this . . .
Cookies! (from Artisanal Gluten-Free Cooking)
Carols! (Listening in public, singing in private.)
A little of that . . .
Peppermint bark! (Easiest. Candy. Ever.)
Sweater parties! (But not ugly ones.)
And a whole lot of THIS:
Now that’s just mean, Google.
Without lying, I could simply say Capricorns are the best sign ever at being gluten-free, and call it a wrap (seriously, no lingering intestinal damage 1.3 years after diagnosis for those guys—it is under. Control). But you know I’d much rather go on and on about personality traits, celebrities, deities, and all those other astrological tidbits that are quite possibly amusing only to me.
Besides, I imagine that if I’m this busy, then you’re all probably a bit too wrapped up in your Christmas wrapping-up to pay any attention to the blogosphere right now. So, I’m going to hold off till we can all give Capricorns the attention they know they deserve.
Just because I can’t resist, I’ll have one last Christmasy post for you on Monday. After that, I’ll be wishing you a happy holiday and checking out till next year (when Capricorn will totally get its due).
For those of you waiting: forgive my delay. (In the meantime, why not check out the astrological archives?) For those of you who couldn’t care less: forgive me for how close together this means my Capricorn and Aquarius posts will be coming.

Based on a Sprue Story 
I had no idea you did astrology posts!! Going to scour your archives. 🙂
I hold no astrological grudge (then again I’m not a Gemini) so no worries here! Bark is hands down best (re easiest, fastest, super yums) dessert ever. Hope you have a great holiday!
