I thought I was going to get a lot done, but that's not how it's turning out.
The UnaccomplishedThought I'd get the baking done this weekend--but having no power did that plan in. I did get the pumpkin bread loaves baked today. Cookies are tomorrow.
Thought I'd get the house cleaned, which I need to do desperately because HeadBoy gave the house to some friends the week we're gone. And while I'm pleased we can help them out and will have our house watched over, it certainly buggers up my precious free time with cleaning.
Thought I'd get part of that done this morning, except I went with HeadBoy to make firewood instead because our boys are bums. And now my back is aching and I'm not in the mood to do anything except sit...and drink.
Thought I'd get to do another round of ficlet requests from y'all, but that probably isn't going to happen. Dammit. I really like doing those. Maybe I can do some New Year's themed drabbles and write them in the car on the way to my parents' house. Maybe.
The AccomplishedI did get my grandmother's necklace strung, except that I ended up having to re-string the whole thing because the end clasp came off. But I didn't get it sent off, so I'm going to hand deliver it in January.
Almost finished with the laundry, the pile this morning was "the height of K-2" according to HeadBoy.
We're almost finished with the shopping. I'm feeling better about Christmas. Only thing left are candies and little toys for the stockings. Boy1's laptop arrived today, but I've decided to give it to him for his birthday.
My parents are giving us a dinner at a good New Orleans seafood restaurant for our gift.
We're going to see 'Avatar' tonight with Boy2. Despite the amount of bitching I do about him, he's a good kid, and he wants to see it. I'd rather see 'Fantastic Mr. Fox' but, hey, sacrifice and all that jazz.
After all my bitching about Christmas funk, I'm still in one, but we have a lovely tree and decorations are up and baking is getting done.
HeadBoy still hasn't bought me anything for Christmas. *shrugs* No biggee *even though I got him a few things* So what do y'all want this year?
Dinner needs to be made.
