Sunday, December 11

Most of mission accomplished

Do you hear that? That is the sound of a productive day. And the relieved sigh of an anal-retentive Christmas freak who just couldn't live with getting less than a full 14 hours' worth of activities done and crossed off the list.
There, to the left, is the finished Christmas tree. Note that it sits in front of the window, a common practice here, so people on the street can look up at the beautiful trees! Lovely!
Here's what we took care of today:
Target -- more tree lights, check; paper goods, check; Christmas card ordering and pick up, check; Seven for $9, and The Cannonball Run for only $5.50, check.
Providence Place -- actually beginning Christmas shopping, and other gift ideas for the family, check.
Tree decorating -- all the lights are up, and all the ornaments are strategically placed, check.
Christmas cards -- addressed, stuffed, stamped and ready to go out tomorrow, check.
Laundry, dishwasher and other housewifery stuff -- ugh, but check.
A shorter list of things to do have I, so a much happier camper am I. A perfect Sunday!!

Me dear, she seems to be listing to port.

Did you check for squirrels before you put it in the house?

OK - now..SEE - that's the advantage to living in the snowy, cold NE - lights on trees look so much prettier when sparkling off the snow! Enjoy!
