To do, to do, to do!

  1. Decorate tree - Asia set it up for me last night
  2. Help kids decorate their tree when they get home from school
  3. Go to S's class to help with the holiday party and gingerbread house decorating fun
  4. Touch up paint in kitchen
  5. Vaccuum
  6. Dust
  7. Clean downstairs
  8. Wrap presents for extended family gathering this weekend
  9. Make cut-out sugar cookies to decorate with family this weekend
  10. Make peanut butter bars for big ugly brother who is visiting this weekend
  11. Create a mini album for my design team gig - this is one I really wish I could get out of
  12. Pick up Gracie at the vet when they call. She vomited numerous times this morning - pieces of sponge. Purple sponge. The vet did x-rays and is keeping her for observation today. Can you say $$$?
  13. Do Costco shopping so I can feed my family
  14. Plan a menu for this weekend
  15. Keep a happy heart and a serene spirit through it all

The kitchen is really and truly almost done. The refrigerator has gone missing - they are looking for it and said they hope they can deliver it Friday morning. Ugh! I'm waiting until it's in place and then I'll post the pictures.

We got everything moved into the cupboards yesterday. My three girlfriends were invaulable to me as we sorted and organized and found some really old stuff in the back of my downstairs pantry! You know your friends are true when they see that you have 6 boxes of Captain Crunch stored away and not one of them says anything about tooth decay or healthy alternatives for breakfast. I honestly don't know where they all came from. (The cereal, not the friends.)

The good news is: I brought everything up from my basement storage area and into the kitchen, and there's still room for more! I have five empty drawers and lots of upper cabinet space that's still empty. I LOVE that.

Okay - I'm off to decorate.

Happy happy day.

    WooHoo... pictures of the tree please (grin). I leave on Wednesday and I won't have internet access that first week. I want to see your tree before I head out to your part of the country (so close, but yet so far, doggone it).

    Giggling over the Captain Crunch. For us, it would be Cinnamon Toast Crunch... must be something about the word crunch that sells cereal!

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

30,000? For real?

So, if you scroll down to the bottom of this here blog, you'll see that I'm probably just a day or two from reaching 30,000 hits. That's just freaky. And in just under 2 years. (I didn't add the counter until after I'd been blogging for several months...) So in honor of almost reaching that milestone, this weeks 'getting to know you Wednesday' question is this: What would you do if you won $30,000? I like this question, because it's not an overwhelming number, and therefore not brain-freeze inducing. It's big enough to be able to accomplish some nice little projects around the house, but not so large that you have to worry about your third cousins from the Ozarks showing up on your doorstep looking for cash so they can put veneers on their teeth. Answer my question this week and you'll be entered in a drawing for 30 special little trinkets in a lovely little goody box. (And when I say trinkets, I mean trinkets. We're talking 30 little lovelie

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse.
