Brrrrrrrrrrrrr.....

In the immortal words of Glenn Frey...."The heat is * * * * ON!". Yes, we officially turned the thermostat from air to heat last night. As we speak we are a frosty 25 degrees. If only there were rain in the forecast we could have had a flurry or two. But, alas, we are only scheduled for sunny, blue skies. I need to get out and get some logs for the fireplace. I love a toasty fire in the winter time. Wee one always wants to roast marshmallows....maybe I should go outside and get some sticks whilst I'm at it....

I only have a few online gifts to order, then I am officially done. Whew! I spread everything out over my bed yesterday to peruse my loot. It's amazing how hundreds of dollars worth of things can look like a small pile of nothing. But, it is the thought that counts, it's the giving not the receiving, it's the spirit of Christmas, (pick a cliche)....

I think today I will spend sewing. I was gone all day yesterday and it will be nice to be able to just sit and relax. I will make some coffee and just zone out to the hum of my sewing machine. Yeah, that sounds gooooood. I left yesterday morning to have my cavity filled (and it went wonderfully....didn't even feel the injection!), from there I went to finish my shopping. Hit 4 stores, came home for an hour during which I organized all gifts and re-hid them, did bills, ate a piece of cold pizza and then headed out the door to the bus stop where....I picked up Wee one, went directly to the high school and got Betsy, then it was off to the post office, bank and my mom's house to drop of the coffee that she likes and was on sale....back home to start dinner, serve dinner and sit down to do a quick load of sewing that dh ever-so-sweetly told me they needed last minute....I think I'm getting a good old-fashioned cold....the kind where you sneeze all the time. It was driving me NUTS last night. I finally took some benadryl and then prayed I wouldn't fall asleep before I was finished. Luckily, it began to affect me minutes after I was done....then I went to bed, slept through my tv show, and didn't wake up till my alarm this morning....I barely remember John kissing me goodbye this morning.

Okay, it's time to get wee one up and running....I hope everyone has a mahhhhhhvelous day!
