Mini-me and his girl decided to spend the afternoon with us on Sunday and, while we love having them over, it did put the rest of my day behind schedule. And by schedule, I mean the very long list of things I'm still trying to work through.
Also, Christmas cards took five or ten times longer than I planned. They always do. You'd think I'd learn. But I did get them ordered - now to get them picked up, addressed and mailed!
This Week I'm:
Listening To: Cry, The Beloved Country - beautifully read. I'm enjoying it a great deal.
Watching: The new Mad Max movie, "Fargo," "The Family Stone," "The Voice," and football, of course.
Making: Spaghetti pie, corned bread, chili - it's fall, time to bring out the heavier fare.
Planning: Thanksgiving with both sides of our family. The kids will all have to make a quick trip of it, with having to work on Friday. As for me, I'll be spending a good deal of Thursday scanning the ads for the annual plunge into Black Friday shopping with my sisters and nieces.
Grateful for: A snowfall Friday that was pretty but left no snow on the roads. Because I had a hair appointment first thing Saturday morning and my roots could not have gone another week! I feel ten years younger.
Enjoying: Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel in my office and Miss H's "new" room finally looking like her room.
Feeling: Tired. There is too much to do and not enough hours in the day.
Looking forward to: Family fun, cranberries, whipped cream with pumpkin pie, the biggest bowl of mashed potatoes you've ever seen, and our special Thanksgiving traditions. I only hope the sleet doesn't arrive before the annual field goal kicking contest can take place!
