I was up at 5:40 this morning, and at school by 7:15 to help proctor the PSAT. When that was complete I went to Sam's Club, where I bought some small Christmas presents and had a root beer float.
Then I came home and got to work.
There used to be 2x4's imbedded in my back patio, but over the decades they've done a good job of rotting. A few hours and about 80 lbs of Quikrete later I got most of the wood removed and the gaps filled.
Needing some relaxation, I broke out a movie I hadn't yet seen--The Life of Pi. It was nice story-telling.
It's now not even 7:00 and I don't know yet what I'm going to do for the rest of the evening!
You got Christmas shopping done? I haven't even bought Halloween candy yet!
ReplyDeleteI'm usually done well before Thanksgiving. That way I can enjoy myself at the mall without feeling pressured--I can enjoy the decorations, the music, the atmosphere. And anything I see and buy is just something *additional* for someone!
ReplyDeleteI love Christmas :-)
But you know what? I never pass out candy on Halloween. Just one of those things.
Fall is our busy time, what with several family birthdays falling in November & December. I have never managed to achieve the sort of calm you describe during the holidays. I need to do Christmas prep in June or July, I think, if I want to be on top of it!
ReplyDeleteChristmas shopping done already, wow! But why no candy on Halloween?
ReplyDeleteI just don't do Halloween. I've never really understood the deal with it.
ReplyDeleteBut Christmas? Yeah, I love that holiday!
Halloween candy is in the closet, starting the Christmas shopping...generally by Thanksgiving I have 90% of it done.
