Bridgett participates in the Ten on Tuesday meme, and when I saw her blog post today I thought this was a particularly good topic since it involves making a checklist of things to get done this week, which many of us are doing anyway, so it's sort of like multitasking blogging (okay, was that sentence long and run on enough?). So here's mine:
1. Take Thalia to the county health department for a typhoid shot. Which isn't particularly festive, but seemed like a clever time to go do it because we're not slogging around to lessons and classes this week.
2. See Beauty and the Beast at the Fabulous Fox.
3. Wrap presents. Nary a present has been wrapped by me yet. The kids have done theirs.
4. Receive more presents from UPS and/or mail. Because they've been shipped, but haven't shown up here yet. Which has put a crimp in that whole wrapping scenario. In the meantime, attempt to not dwell on what will happen if they DON'T show up here.
5. A bit more shopping needs to be done. I have the items in my mind, it's just a matter of locating them in a store (this is usually the dreadful part, since merchants seem to have a startling lack of ESP about what I want).
6. Make Favorite Butter Cookies from the recipe published in the Post-Dispatch in the early 1980s. These are the official Santa cookie of our household.
7. Finish pants that are half done. Actually I don't need these until next week, so I could spend Christmas Day sewing. Hmmm, that sounds rather attractive ....
8. Help make a present for a family member who I don't think reads this, but maybe they do.
9. Get hair cut.
10. Find time for a nap.

What? No presents wrapped yet?! Time to lock yourself in a room with gifts and paper, tape and scissors, eh? :D
Mmm, butter cookies...
Your list is so long, reading it exhausts me.
My list was so long I'm only now reading your list. Which is also exhausting.
