1. The woman in this picture? She's on the bus on her way toward me.
2. It's fucking pouring rain right now. Her bus probably won't be delayed but the timing is delicate. There aren't a lot of places to hang around inside near the drop off. I fear one of us will get very wet. But we're just headed home after and we're not soluble.
3. I am neck deep in updating addresses. Taking a short break for this list and to stop my eyes from crossing. These are not my addresses. They're someone else's for someone else's holiday cards.
4. My holiday cards are designed (thank you JRH!), ordered, and winging their way toward me.
5. My address list is woefully out of date. I have much work to do.
6. My house is pretty clean for being 3 days before a party. I think someone has to come visit me on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving every year. Hell, you don't have to actually come you just have to say you're coming and make me believe it until about noon on that Tuesday.
7. As I mentioned to Chili this morning my motto for the year's present-giving is "Heifer & Homemade". It was a saying of Mrs. X's and we grew to love it. Heifer can stand specifically for Heifer International or it can be a pleasingly alliterative stand-in for any charitable donation. I suspect this year it will be both.
8. I mention #7 only to say that I had the help of a couple of web sites in turning some things of my own into gifts and a bunch of that stuff arrived yesterday. A big bunch. When you put it all in one place, well, wow I made a lot of stuff! (Not clutter, though, useful stuff.)
9. Even if my eyes weren't crossing I don't think I'm going to get all these addresses fixed today. I'm going to try, though.
10. Tomorrow? We bake!

I've started knitting.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was going to be hanging with you and Miss Priss this week. We have GOT to work on that machine that gets us within a few hours drive of each other. xoxo
