So... Yeah. The insane business has
not subsided at all. I am still
feeling like I am several steps behind. I absolutely have to send off two
presents that are sitting on my kitchen table, but I haven’t been able to bring
myself to bust out the wrapping paper and actually get them ready... I still
have a couple people that we need to get presents for, need to pick up J’s
See’s (we get each other a box of See’s chocolate for Christmas), and I haven’t
gotten anything for my work friends. I thought about making something, but I am
feeling like I really don’t want to do that anymore. It was either going to be
cookies or black coal candy that I found a recipe for. I just know that if I
messed up a batch, I would collapse into a ball under my table and refuse to come
out until after the New Year. Since my brain is more than a little melted, this
is just going to be some randoms to catch up...
- I have a project that I really want
to do in my hallway... Currently I have a large picture of Marilyn Monroe up
there that I have had for years, but now it kinda bugs me and I think I would
rather have something more personal. I’ve seen tons of picture walls on
Pinterest and I really want to do one... I’m thinking about hitting up Goodwill
next week when I’m off for the holidays and looking for a bunch of unique
frames that I can fill with all sorts of things. I don’t know if J would like
it or if he wouldn’t even care...
- Flat tires seriously suck. We were
about 40 miles into our trip home from Nevada when the tire pressure light came
on. We pulled over, found a screw in my right rear tire, swapped out for the
donut, and had to turn around to get to a dealership to get it fixed because
the from road-side assistance that I had on the phone wouldn’t bring me a new
tire no matter how much I begged. Luckily we got to the nearest dealership 20
minutes before the service department closed and they were able to patch the
tire. I am now firmly against ever having another car that doesn’t have a
full-size spare tire. If I had a full-size spare, we could have just swapped it
out and kept going. It looks more and more likely that I’ll be getting a
Highlander as my next car.
- My entire immediate family was in one
place at the same time for the first time in over 6 years for Thanksgiving. It
was nice to see everyone and we spent way too much time staying up too late
talking and playing games. Good times :-)
- We had our Holiday Potluck at work Monday.
I brought Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes again. So yummy. Unfortunately I
have an entire dozen left over! And I did not drop them on my front walk in the
rain like last year...
- I finally “decorated” for the
holidays. This is about as good as it gets...
I guess that’s about it for now... This train of thought has derailed...
