1. I feel guilty for not posting often enough. I feel like I should be using my time more efficiently, but work takes what little strength I have out of me, and at the end of the day it's easier for me to just zonk out watching the television or sleeping.
2. Love this post by Nikki on being Thankful.
3. Please congratulate Mandi over at Catholic Newlywed on the birth of their first child, Lucia Rose! I'm so happy for you Mandi - I'm looking forward to reading about this new stage in your life!
4. I am so over watching terrible football teams play on Monday night. It's really just not a good start to the rest of my week. Tonight, however, I will be watching Marshawn Lynch because I need him to score less than 12 points so I can win my fantasy football game. Seriously. These things are important to me.
5. Christmas Shopping - how I loathe thee. I have no idea what any of these relatives want and I know I'm going to spend too much money trying to figure it out. I should just spare myself the insanity and get everyone a gift card to Amazon. Which, incidentally, is where I will be purchasing all your gifts.
6. Every year I make homemade ornaments for friends and family. They are made by folding cloth squares over and over again and pinning them down into a pattern. I haven't started making any yet. Christmas will wait until I get around to it, right? Oh crud.
Thank you, Rachel! I really appreciate your warm wishes.
ReplyDeleteI am wondering if Christmas will wait until I get all my shopping done as well...
I think it's really neat that you make homemade ornaments every year. I really want to start making homemade gifts, and this year with the baby I did have an excuse not to, but next year, I am going to make a real attempt at it!
