EDIT: This is some sad news. Do you remember Dr. Sarah Smith who teaches accounting at CU? Her son, Wade, was severly disabled and in a wheelchair. They just sent an email that he passed away last night. How sad…right before Christmas. I’m sure they could use our prayers. END EDIT
It’s probably a good thing Eric needed me to be excited last night over various technological toys (mostly gifts for other people) that came yesterday because I would’ve stayed up too late finishing the second Harry Potter book otherwise! I still have about 1/3 of the book to go, so maybe I’ll finish it today sometime!
I was much productive yesterday. I finished all my Christmas cards and Christmas thank-yous to people who helped with the Christmas program. Then I went to the Post Office to mail them (and buy stamps) and then to WalMart for a few necessary items. After lunch, I went out again, this time to the mall. I wandered to a number of different stores and finally found most of what I was looking for! My only remaining gift is something for my MIL. The brothers went together to get her gift, but we also drew her name for the Hogue family gift exchange, so I’m in charge of that gift. But even so…I am almost totally done!!!
I got home, put a bunch of stuff in boxes to be wrapped (I got most of Eric’s gifts, too) and then made dinner while we watched It Takes a Thief which we actually hadn’t seen. After dinner, I cleaned up and then sat down to read my book, which I did for the rest of the night (except when Eric wanted me to “ooh” over something he’d figured out on the various pieces of technology)!
Is it “doing whatever you want ” when you have to work on a stocking every available minute?! At least I have the time to work on it now!!
I think the New Years cards were facitious (sp?) for people who don’t get their Christmas cards out on time. And yes, I think “I hope your year doesn’t suck” would be a nice sentiment to include.
Great news about your bathrooms! Kinda seems like you WILL have time to do Kimberly’s after all!
Re: make up ^^^^
I am lazy. I don’t wear make up when I casually run errands. I’ve been to the post office and Curves today. No make up. Didn’t care!
Re: The Smiths
Prayers for this family. I can’t imagine their pain.
Poor Dr. Smith! It’s going to be a hard Christmas. She was my advisor there at Cedarville. I’ll pray for her and her family.
That is sad. We always saw them walking to church on Sundays.
Will you please come clean my bathroom? There’s only one!!
^^ Yeah, you can act like you’re cleaning bathrooms together!!
^^
I don’t think I’ll make it out of the house today either. I haven’t put make up on yet, too. It sounds like our day might be similar!
I think “oohing” and “aahing” is part of the description for a wife, especially when it’s something he surely knows you couldn’t care less about!!
You were productive! If I’m at home, I’m usually not. I guess it’s good that Kyle is and not me!
