Death warmed over…

That's how I feel today. It's my own fault for staying up unit 2:00 am this morning. I was working and just kept rolling along. I had a particular goal to accomplish and next thing I knew…

The Food Network sure plays a lot of reruns, by the way. I have seen the Best Thing I Ever Ate holiday episode at least four times, the latest episode of Chopped three times, Alton Brown's The Cookie Clause twice and Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives is practically on a loop. I could change the channel, I know. But since I'm only watching with half of my brain, I don't mind too much.

Maybe an osmosis like effect will happen and I will suddenly become an amazing cook!

Cards are done…

Just finished the last of my Christmas cards and boy does that feel good. All the household decorations are up too - inside as well as outside. I paid my niece to come over on Sunday and help me decorate my tree. It would not have gotten done any other way. It was nice, too, to have company. We played Christmas music and chatted. I opened all the boxes and Rachel hung the ornaments. She did a really good job too.

I have accomplished very little shopping though. Other than one item for Tom's mother and a few things for him, I have done nothing. I don't even have time for internet shopping. This calendar season has been more hectic than I could ever have anticipated.

I'm pretty unhappy about the whole thing and even the whopping invoice I just emailed them does little to ease my displeasure over not being able to enjoy the holiday season. I even missed a boat parade party at Matt and Vicky's lagoon.

Oh well. After Friday, I'm on vacation! I'm flying up to visit Ann in North Carolina on Saturday. We'll goof around for a few days, then drive back to Florida together early in the week. There will be no calendars to work on in North Carolina!
