a week in review
I'm another year older and apparently, I've used up all my words. A blogging crisis ensued and I've been awfully quiet these days - here and at your place. I know. I'm usually so chatty.
But we've had snow and snow days and days when the kids stayed home and there wasn't any snow left over.
I managed a mall trip to see Santa with another blistering headache - Hi! I'm a walking barometer - and the kids palavered with the dude in red for a few minutes, verifying their generally nice status, while I thanked the Dude above for not having to wait in line.
(It's a Christmas Miracle!)
Greg worked from home most of the week, and we were all able to swing Lexi's Winter Concert.
I tried new recipes and made my family wait while I took a picture of dinner.
I mailed off Christmas cards, with no letter this year, just brief personal notes.
There was wrapping.
(not rapping, silly)

(not rapping, silly)And volunteering at the school, and baking, and checkups, and coffee with friends now that the snow seems here to stay.
It's been a full and busy and satisfying week.
How about you? How are you holding up, during the pre-Christmas hustle and bustle?

For the most part, I'm moving along okay but I'm trying to forget about the, umm, wrapping. I guess that I can handle our daughter's stuff and she can do her dad's presents, and then I'll get the two of them to do all of the wrapping for the nieces and nephews.
Sheesh. I didn't mean to go on so much about how I hate wrapping presents.
Me thinks a "white Christmas' might be a tad overrated.
Things sound warm and cozy in your neck of the woods. I'm glad your hubs in home with the fam.
xxooxxoo
Things are good... for the next 10 hours.
We have cabin fever here, too. Mr Coffee went to the grocery tonight and got some donuts....as in, in the parking lot with the pickup.
Shoveling, baking cookies, shoveling, baking cookies, shoveling... and so and so forth. Oh and cleaning the coloured sugar decorations of my kitchen floor. And then shoveling again (or snowblowing, whatever, there's lots of snow involved).
Glad you had a good week, glad to hear Greg was home for some important events and look at theat beauty with the cello. WOW!
I'll tell you how I'm holding up: a new concoction called "chocolate vodka and Dr. Pepper"... it cures headaches, by the way.
