Here's what we did this weekend:
• Christmas shopping at the craziest mall in the city (me and Mom)
• tried to stave off a cold by going to bed on Friday at 8:30 (me)
• took Tabby to her dance class (Matt)
• painted ornaments at Into the Fire (me)
• stained all the trimwork and doors (Matt and Dad)
• basically finished all of the Christmas shopping (me and Kelly)
• took our family Christmas card photo (the whole family, plus Kelly manning the camera) – incidentally, it is impossible to get a photo of ALL of us that I love and we even cut Loki from it this year in the spirit of simplification … so sorry, dogger
• made the photo into a Christmas Card and directed Premium Postcard to send them out (me)
• got very little in the way of naps (the kids)
• cleaned out the refrigerator (me)
• spent about 2 hours cleaning the house with no real noticeable progress (me)
• got all dressed up like adults and went to the company Christmas party (Matt and me)
• had too much wine (me)
• spent over $200 at Target (me)
• made 4 trips to Home Depot (Matt)
• stayed up 'til 2 AM on Monday morning working on Christmas cards and letting my brain come to rest (me)
It's going to be a loooong Monday.
Holy busy weekend!! I wish I was there to help you paint! I love painting houses, so calming and therapeutic (or maybe it's the fumes)… I enjoy it even more when it's not my responsibility to actually finish the job!
