Things feel chaotic.  While one thing gets checked off five more get added to the list.  I wrapped a ton of the gifts I have here and then my favorite egg brought some he got for the girl child, unwrapped.  C'mon man.  Never mind the gifts that I haven't gotten yet; I'm running out of time.

We did get down to the Canonsburg Old Time Christmas celebration this past weekend; just kiddo and I since I noticed her bestie had already gone the night before.  We also made a cheater batch of peanut butter cookies yesterday -- they'll never make it to Christmas, can I still call them Christmas cookies?

I got the Christmas cards ready too.  I want to take them to the post office and verify that they don't need extra postage - call me paranoid - or they'd already be out the door.  Maybe this is a good excuse to go get fish fry from the Italian Club on Friday and pop into the Muse post office!

I also decorated the half bathroom mirror so it is festive in there - even if it is out of service.  In theory the new flapper will arrive today or tomorrow.  It is absolutely ridiculous how often I have to replace gut parts in toilets in this house.

Today was a holy day.  Our church has reduced the number of masses after one our priests passed away.  The 7am was too awkward of a time w/ the bus etc and the 6pm was out if we're hitting jiu jitsu, so I had to run to the furthest church at 12:15 today - and it was paaaacked.  After I checked off another to do, swinging into the engraving/embroidery place to get kiddo's swim parka embroidered.  Of course, they can't get it done by Christmas, go figure.  How do people who always wait until the last minute get anything done for Christmas?

The container that holds the bulk of the Christmas decorations is still sitting in my kitchen.  I want to pull more stuff out from the wall in the basement and sort/remove things before I take that back down, but dang it, it's in the way.
