1. Mac said last week he couldn't wait for Christmas to get here...I tried to explain to him that the wait is the greatest part of the holidays. All the anticipation and activity...this really is the best week of the whole year.
2. Speaking of activity the main one from this point one will be cooking...one of the things we're making is peppermint fudge sundaes for dessert on Christmas night. It'll be the first time making my mom's mud pie fudge sauce...here's the recipe I have from when I gathered a bunch of family recipes a couple of years ago to make a cookbook for my brother and sister...
3. I think I'm going to have a couple of questions to ask her.
4. I started working on my organizer for 2011...first task was updating all the monthly calendars. (you can download the other pages I've made here)
5. I made a PDF file in case you need new month pages too (you can trim them down to fit into a mini binder) Download 2011 Calendar
6. Between our Christmas card and now the calendar I am officially obsessed with the Marketing Script font.
7. We made the same snack mix as we made last year to give as gifts for the volunteers at Mac's karate class all packaged it up in brown paper bags...
8. I wrote #1-7 on Monday night. At that point I had no clue that the power would go out on our street at 2am and be out for 14.5 hours. A blown transformer was repaired at 6:30pm.
9. I spent a good part of the day staring aimlessly around the house and mentally adding up the dollars in our freezers. Thankfully every one of them was spared. Not even an ice cube melted a single drop.
10. I have never appreciated electricity as much as I do right now.
