The toilet is functioning again, the Christmas cards were mailed, the bin is back in the basement, and all of the must have cookies have been made; that include chocolate chip, no bakes, and pizzelles.  Yippee!  I did end up taking part of Friday and Monday off which allowed me to cross off some other to do tasks as well.

Girl had her Christmas concert last night.  They did a great job and it was K-2 for the entire program so no shifting groups on and off of the stage (wise move).  They had a 2 hour delay due to the cold.  I'm glad they got to go to school both so the concert happened and because the week before holiday vacation is non-stop fun clothes and activities.

Today the flooring business that did my upstairs bathrooms and laundry room was back to measure the whole house.  I had stopped there on Friday whilst out achieving some of those other goals and found a flooring sample that really seems to work well with both the beige/tan tones and grays.  They also had a few newer carpet samples in within which I found items I liked including one that really works with the flooring.  Quotes are in hand and a bit cheaper than the estimates I got early this year.  I need to figure out what I want to do about the flooring.  They did not indicate I had to go with a glue down, but did advise as to some of the reasons why I should consider it.  I guess I need to do my research and make a decision.
