Thoughts for this Yule

1. I really don't care for 'fun fur' type yarns. What is it with them anyway? And they're everywhere!
2. Still have a sweater, fudge, fruit salad to make, fridge to clean, gifts to wrap and clothes to wash for tonight.
3. Jane and hubby are suffering because of #2.
4. No one will receive holiday cards from me again this year--just not on my list of things to do.
5. I still care LOTS about the people I WOULD send cards to!
6. Haven't walked in days and my back and legs are screaming at me for it.
7. I weigh more than I every have in my life and I really don't care about weight anymore. I would like to be more fit and make walking a DAILY part of my life, for the rest of my life.
Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Merry Yule or whatever you celebrate this time of year!

Another Quickie

On Monday I thought we had a meeting, when I got there I realized it was moved to Tuesday.
Tuesday I went to the meeting and sold 50/50 tickets at the first basketball game. Also ordered flowers for my ever-loving for our 'anniversary'; 29 years ago I picked him over the other guy. I was 14 at the time, Really!
Wednesday was the actual anniversary date. Then we have coffee, cake and ice cream to celebrate an older neighbor's birthday (he's 74).
Thursday after work I did some shopping for concession supplies for Saturday. While I was in the 'big city' I nabbed a few Yule gifts.
Today I've got laundry to do, fit a choir gown, pick up buns and bananas for tomorrows concessions and set up the concession area later.
Tomorrow is concession stand ALL DAY. We plan on starting coffee at 7 a.m. The Cheer America coach running the competition said to plan on about 1100 kids! Competitions begin at 9 a.m. with Level 1; Level 5 doesn't start until 4:30!
Sunday I was hoping to rest a bit, but the list says bake cookies, hem choir gown, laundry and clean bathrooms!!!!
Monday I might get some knitting Yule gifts in.
Tuesday is 50/50 again.
Wednesday is my Home and Garden Party I got conived into hosting.
The next planned event is Sunday with the cookie exchange--we were planning on 12 dozen cookies, now we're at 15 dozen!! (I have half of the baked, sorted and in the freezer.)
How's your holiday schedule?
