It's Friday girls!
YAY, finally! What's everyone got planned for this that weekend before Christmas?
Tonight, decorating the tree and finally putting up some decorations. Also depending on what goes on today, celebrating tonight.
I have no idea exactly about the rest of the weekend. I know I have to finish up stocking stuffers for M and possibly wrapping his gifts, that's about it.
Re: It's Friday girls!
Tonight-finish presents-DH's & Mom's, hopefully! and work out-gotta get a jumpstart on this NOW-before it gets outta hand.
Sat-work. Hope to get to the market for a ham, etc... weather permitting... for meal for day after Christmas, but ... clean
Sun-clean, clean, clean! Maybe do the rest of the cookies or do more pumpkin roll. I
to bake!
Today - having a lazy day with Hunter and the dogs - exercise is banned for the day and we're going to watch Christmas movies and eat cookie dough. (Obviously, I just feel like being a bum)
Tonight - DH and I bought The Hangover so we'll make dinner and watch that.
Tomorrow - going to visit a friend, finally see New Moon and finish Christmas shopping (when I say finish, I mean start - nothing like procrastinating). Tomorrow night I'm sure we'll just stay home and relax. DH will probably be exhausted after watching Hunter all day!
Sunday - making Christmas cookies/treats to give as presents.
I am staying home sick today. I plan on sleeping for most of it, but will get Christmas cards done at some point so they can go out in the mail tomorrow (sorry ladies that they're late!) If I'm up to it, the rest of the gifts will get wrapped.
My parents are coming tomorrow. They're bringing Austin, who is staying with me through the 28th. My sister's also coming with them. They're taking us all out to dinner tomorrow night and letting the girls swim at their hotel. Please pray that we have a peaceful visit!
Sunday we're having "Christmas morning" with my parents/sister. I'm making a big breakfast, and the kids are opening their presents from grandma/grandpa.
today: finish my sweet gum ball wreath (before it snows tonight and I can't pick any more up), clean, laundry, wrapping presents
tomorrow: more cleaning, knitting, making iced sugar cookie cutouts
sun: finish making 2 more gifts, finish wrapping
we might go see princess & the frog at some point. DH told me he wanted to see it (yeah, I was shocked too) because "it's hand-drawn and his illustration style is similar." Suuuuure, disney boy!
Kristy---Would LOVE to see your gumball wreath! Sounds pretty!
I want to see Princess & the Frog, but we might see Sherlock Holmes instead. We RARELY go out to movies (thanks Netflix and Redbox-thanks a lot).
Wendi---ditto what Sheri says-hope your mom's visit isn't stressful! I'm sure the girls will have fun swimming when it is sooo cold out where you are.
Today: My parents are coming into town and hoping to beat any snow/ice that comes with it. We are going to go out to dinner if possible and then relax in the house.
Sat: We are spending the day with my parents and probably playing Christmas -- opening gifts and watching Christmas movies.
Sunday: Still just hanging with the rents. No real plans, just spending time together. Dh and I have to roast some coffee too for our next round of baskets. (Agent, we will be sneding you a sample, but most likely after the holidays since we are overloaded atm)
Monday: Starts my vacation =D. Dh and I are finishing all our work then though. We have basket deliveries to make and we have to go to the car shop to have our car rerepaired with a few things they missed.
Tues - Sun, It's all fun -- Light Show, Gingerbread house, Baking and Christmas movies.
Tonight - I have a party to go to. I wore my pretty dress to work even though it's FREEZING. I like dressing up (which is funny since my mother struggled to get me to wear dresses for years).
Sautday - Hopefully finishing up my shopping and having dinner with my parents in the evening because they're coming in for my brother's graduation. Of course, it may snow like crazy that night which throws a wrench into my commuting plans.
Sunday - My baby brother Dougie's graduation ceremony from college! We're painting our stomach with the letters of his name. YAY!
Tonight - DH and I are going to go steal dinner from my mom and then go to see the Festival of Lights at Hartwood Acres. I'm going to make him drag the dogs along!
Tomorrow - Probably finish up some shopping in the morning and then we have a Christmas party to go in the evening.
Sunday - Normal housework day. Clean, do laundry, and make wrap some presents.
Currently I am trying to kick this flippin headache that I have had for the past two days.
At some point today I have to go get boxes so I can mail Christmas presents out. plus I need to finish christmas cards and go to the post office to mail all this stuff out. This all means I lied when i said I would get my Christmas cards in the mail to you all on Monday.
Tonight- I am cleaning the house from top to bottom so I can finally decorate for the holidays.
saturday - i am going through my closet and getting rid of clothes that no longer fit so I can get them to the VOA and wrap any last minute presents that I missed.
saturday night I am repainting a bedroom ceiling to get the spots that I missed so that I can finally hang my black chandelier and then hit up the grocery store for all my baking needs.
Sunday I will start making cookies and possibly do a practice run on a new cake recipe.
woo HOO! I have to work 3 days next week, but I really feel like this is the start of my vacation! (I'm actually off from 12/24-1/4), because it will be SO dead at work next week, and N is off after today.
Today is a short day at work - I'm taking the managers who work for me out to lunch for the holidays, then the girls and I will probably go get mani/pedis. Everyone gets a half day today
.
Tonight = N's work Christmas party, which I'm really looking forward to. We're having Texas style bbq at another teachers' house. I love teachers almost as much as I love puppies and kitties. I want to snuggle them and tickle their bellies, and give them treats. They're just such good, friendly, comfy people (for the most part)!
Tomorrow = I get to see my SIL, BIL, and my baby niece!!! And it's SMIL's bday, so we're celebrating that as well.
Sunday = no clue, running a few errands and hopefully spending more time with the family. I may bake, as well.
Today - I ran some errands and am now doing things around the house. We were supposed to go out for a bday party in DC tonight, but not sure that's gonna happen due to the snow.
Tomorrow - probably nothing since it's supposed to snow all day.
Sunday - up in the air, maybe try to run out for some groceries.
