Boy I can remember the days that I looked forward to sleeping in late on my Saturday mornings, those most certainly were the days. Now it is all about getting up as early as I possible can handle and get started on all the chores that have been building up all week, done and out of the way. The main thing is all of the laundry, and it really sucks because I have both the washer and dryer downstairs in the basement and I have to trudge up and down those stairs all day long.
But you gotta do what you gotta do as the saying goes, one day I’ll live in a house were the washer and dryer on the main level of the house, that certainly would be great improvement in my life! A girl can dream can’t she?
Not doing anything special for New Year’s Eve this year. I haven’t really felt like going out on New Year’s Eve for the past few years. There are way too many drunks out on the road and I’m just not ready to chance it. I used to watch Dick Clark each year but he isn’t even making appearances these days, although his name is still being used to promote the show, sigh….
I have a very large family due to deaths, divorces, and remarriages. I have two sisters and five brothers who’ve pretty much all married and had kids. So I have a lot of nieces, nephews, and cousins to consider as family members!
I’m married, so I have in-laws as my extended family!
And, for some reason, my family looks to me to keep track of who has what special occasion when. So for several years now at the beginning of a month I email out reminders as to who is having what special occasion that month.
In addition, I send out via the US mail greetings to mark those occasions. You can imagine that I send out a lot of birthday cards during the year!
Flannel sheets. I’ve always wanted flannel sheets and I really could use a new look for my bedroom. So a new bedspread, a nice soft blanket and some new accent pillows would be a nice Christmas present for myself one that I could purchase now and have ready for the holiday season.
Been spending the afternoon online, looking at a few last minute gift ideas. My brother-in-law is in need for some decent abrasives, he is into metal work, big time, so I’d like to be able to get him something that he can really use. I hate spending money on generic gifts, if I’m going to get some one a gift I really want it to be a good one. So I’m thinking some abrasives would be right on target this year.
