This is a way of making myself write something coherent and grammatically correct almost every day. I'm opinionated and need an outlet. I'm also prone to flights of fancy. Thanks for stopping by. |
| I know it's early, but this time of year flies by for me. It's over before you know it was here. So I'm planning ahead. There's only four weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I'm not spending all my time shopping. I have some long work days in there, too. And I want some entertainment and a little social life. So, I'm starting now. Some lucky child on my list is going to get a set of drums. Another a tambourine. I didn't like the idea of paying more for shipping and handling than I would for a toy guitar, so I skipped that. But my goal is to have a little band Christmas day for 6 years and under. The adults are getting books. I know the adults, who will take these children with their musical instruments home with them, will hold a grudge against me. But that kind of gives me a little pleasure, too. (I'm sadistic, okay.) I love Thanksgiving. Got to invite some guests besides family. We have enough food to feed about 50 people, but we'll have about 16. So the more, the merrier. It won't look like something out of Southern Living, but everyone gets well fed. And we're sort of nice company. There's a neighborhood picnic this Sunday, so I'm trying out a recipe from Family Circle. Then there's a family reunion in late October. I'll have a lot for that. A lot of cooking, cleaning, decorating for Halloween, then Thanksgiving, then Christmas. So I'll get my gifts early, wrap early, and hide in my bedroom, since that's one of the few places guests aren't allowed. Bring it on. It's fast, it's tiring, it's exciting. |
