Checklist

Things to get done before Christmas:
1) Put up decorations - check
2) Start Christmas shopping - check (actually it's all done thanks to my shopping extravaganza last weekend where my credit card actually hemorrhaged money.)
3) Write Christmas cards - check (even bought the cute Xmas cookie stamps and mailed those bad boys this morning.)
4) Wrap presents - check (Did accidently cut my fingernail with the scissors and am now Stubby McStubberson but the gifts are wrapped so pretty that I'm (semi) ok with the broken nail.)
5) Make fudge, cookies, cupcakes and muffins for co-workers - namely our wonderful admin. without whom I would be a total wreck most days. Doing that tonight. (Bakefest 2005 starts at 6pm at my house so if you want to laugh your ass off, come by and watch me make fudge. I hate the smell (and taste) of chocolate so I make priceless "face of disgust" faces while making the fudge.)

I made this list a few last week when I remembered that I have a week's worth of vacation coming my way starting on the 19th. Since everything will be done by then, I've reworked my list and it goes a little something like this:
1) Sleep in every day as late as I want or as late as Barley will allow.
2) Curl up on the couch and read whatever I want.
3) See a few movies (I might even go by myself which I've never done)
4) Go skiing ( I don't really want to go alone so if anyone is off next week and wants to come to Denver, give me a shout.)
5) Spa day - I want a mani, pedi, parafin and a massage.
6) Slumber party with my sisters, which will include, but not be limited to: shopping, baking, watching the "Sound of Music" and "Elf" and making fun of the way Kelsey drives.

I'll be taking suggestions on anything else to add to the list. I actually only have four days because I leave for Michigan on Thursday afternoon.
