Getting Stuff Done

Here’s what I’ve been able to cross off my list from the post below this one:

Make craft for my Mom I started it - it’s in progress
Make craft for a friend of Boyfriend This will probably not be a Christmas Gift at this point. Maybe a mid-year gift.
Make a stocking for Boyfriend with no sewing machine and remedial sewing skills I have the fabric cut and pinned. I might go to Joann to see if I can use one of their demo sewing machines instead of stitching it all by hand.
~~Find blank address labels amongst my stuff in the garage so I don’t have to buy more when all I need is 2 sheets~~ I decided to just hand address them. Afterwards, when I was looking for something on my desk, I found the damn labels.
~~Sign, address,~~ and mail Christmas cards
Burn and send latest CD for mix exchange working on this one - I need to test the two that I made to make sure I’m not having an issue with my burner
~~Find time to finish Christmas shopping, as soon as I figure out what to get~~ Only a few more quick things to get!
Mail Christmas presents to family back home!
~~Which means I need to buy the right size boxes, so I guess I should finish shopping first, eh?~~ Got this info written down for today’s shopping excursion
~~Make banana bread out of bananas I didn’t eat before they turn to total mush and rot through the counter~~ Slightly burned it. Might have temperature problem with this oven, since I have never burned things before cooking in this oven
~~Regularly scheduled Thursday night oil change with our friends at the Greasy Spoon. The food is great, if you like it greasy!~~ Must remember to get salad next time. Must convince myself that a salad will satisfy me.
~~Attend Sweet 16 for our friend’s daughter Friday night, which will likely be followed by an after-party for the adults~~ No after party, but the party was a success.
Keep from getting myself committed to the loony bin or having my insanity making the national news. Still working on this one

Boyfriend and I are supposed to go out to finish shopping today. He wanted to get out by 10 so we can be home by 2, but he hit Level 70 last night in his silly little game, and that’s where he sits right now - in front of his computer. I was up early for a weekend, got my websurfing done, addressed and signed my cards, updated my checkbook, wrote down box sizes for stuff I need to mail, and even found a tiny bit of surface space on my desk. Boyfriend just announced that he will be taking a shower shortly, so I guess it’s time to get myself all prettied up to face the Christmas crowds.

Just so you know, I’ll be writing my annual Christmas post soon, and dating it Christmas Day, so it will stay up on top until Christmas. My blog address is in all my cards, so my family and friends will be stopping by to see what’s up with me (I hope!)

Hi,
We’ve been crazy busy too. On top of the Holidays we have three birthdays. Youngest daughters is Nov 15th, Middle daughter is Dec 4th, and Hubbby’s is Dec 8th. Also my oldest daughter’s baby is due Jan 13th so i have had to make travel arragments so i can go be with her. I leave for Key west Florida jan 12th. It is a crazy time of year and whats crazier isi LOVE it. We still have shopping to do but we did manage to get a big chunk of it done. Thank goodness no one in my extended family does the mail stuff across country. YAY! See ya thursday, i think, if all goes well. *waves*

I hear ya. I send a lot of cards, but if I had to mail presents to my extended family, I could single handedly keep the post office in business.
