Whee. Whee, I say.

Yesterday was largely composed of running around. Got up with my alarm at 7am, was out the door by a quarter to eight, heading to an "estate sale" which actually turned out to be more of a garage sale, but the guy's wife used to be an antique dealer so there was some nifty stuff. Popped back home to set up breakfast for the Wonderful Husband whenever he should get up and grab a tray I needed to return to my mother, which I did. Went over to an antique fair which wasn't so much antiques as it was a good swap meet. Posted a present to a friend, went to a few stores for holiday gifts and gift certificates and failed to find any jeans which would fit me. Came home, where there was a box from an eBay seller waiting for me... which contains six of the seven auctions I won from this person. Where's the seventh?! Had dinner with my parents, and ended up going to bed an hour early with a bad headache. Which explains the no writing yesterday.

Woke up at 7am this morning, resisted getting up and drifted for a few more hours. Made waffles for breakfast. Have tidied the house a tiny bit, planted beans and herbs in the patio garden, put away laundry, and picked out fabrics for the very last set of holiday sewing. Still have most of my to-do list to tackle, including drag out tree and put up holiday decorations. Ganbarimasu!

Decoratin', I say!

Tree up! Window decorations (mini tree with dolls and such) up! Four presents wrapped and under the tree. And, for reference, an old muslin men's kimono mockup makes a lovely tree skirt. ^_^ Also screwed a hook into the kitchen entry wall... there was a nail there, but it was just barely enough to hold my aprons and Wonderful Husband kept accidentally knocking them down just by walking by. Now they should be secure. ^_^

In The Spirit

Inching down the various to-do lists. Have screwed another hook into the kitchen wall, this one by the sink so that a towel can go there for hand washing. Have ironed fabric for a shirt for Wonderful Husband, sliced and diced the fabric from one of the shortened tablecloths and hemmed it up into napkins (IE, Mom, I have six napkins for you...). Have put gift cards and the like inside cards, the laundry is mostly done and put away, the bed is remade because Wonderful Husband is wonderful like that, and the cat has claimed as a new hiding place the area right behind the Christmas tree. Have also played The Chipmunks' Christmas Song for Wonderful Husband, and tracked down and watched A Muppet Family Christmas on YouTube. ^_^ *happy sigh* Good show, that....
