MWAH!

Playing catchup was coloured by my "lalalaIcan'thearyou" reaction to all the disturbing ObGyn talk.

Our performance of Beethoven's Mass in C on Wednesday was so-so. Our performance on Thursday? Was fantastic. SUCH a good feeling. Go Team Us!!! (I mean, the audience clearly enjoyed it a lot on the Wed, but our director has v. high standards and has communicated them to us, and we all knew we could have done much better than we did on Wednesday. And then on Thursday we were 200% better!)

Presently watching When Harry Met Sally and drinking green tea with organic honey.

Today I walked 4k in 40 minutes. This is a significant improvement on how far I could walk in that time a week ago. Am all chuffed.

I have decided that I'm going to award myself an iPod when I've lost 2 stone. One with a video function, so I can download fanvids and watch 'em.

Well done, oh Fay.

Good reward system too.

I think I need some more Fay pictures to make it through the holidays. That's my reward system. Can you help me?

Time to get off the computer and on to some of the rest of the list.

Done today: Laundry - big deal, that's every day Purchased 11 DVD's for my family and great niece and nephew Found and purchased great t-shirt for son Brendon with a picture of a cow jumping over the moon and the inscription "I've got mad skills" which is so perfect since he loves cows and he says that all the time. Whee! Purchased inexpensive mp3 players for the boys since they are too young for me to purchase ipods for them.

Still on the list: Finish packaging cookies for the neighbors Purchase and decorate Christmas tree Get the rest of the decoration boxes down from the attic and put stuff around the house Shower Do huge mountain of dishes More laundry Go over rest of shopping list with DH because I really want to do all of this on line and time is running out Assemble family for picture taking so I can print out holiday cards Post message in Press to invite people to get said cards - I can do that now Clear huge mountain of stuff off of Bobby's bedroom floor so he can put train sets there and more....

Christmas party for Joe's company!

What a beautiful family. The picture bubbles over with love.

Thanks Laura.

Today I've bought my sister a belated birthday present, ordered ingredients for Holiday Things In Jars (and Bottles), bought jelly jars, submitted a receipt for insurance reimbursement, thrown out all the expired meds in the bathroom.

I'm debating whether I want to go out again to get wine and vodka (the only 2 ingredients I can't get from FD), or wait until tomorrow.

This morning i woke up early. DH did too. I groaned and said " isn't the smell of roast turkey driving you crazy. He got out of bed and brought me an apple. awww.

So the stressing about whether to color hair and how to style it for a party tonight? Not just me. Cool. Though I also have to stress on what to wear so we should talk about that for a while too.

Ooh, I forgot to wish beth and matt a Happy Anniversary! Or, Awniversary, as seems to be a much better soubriquet for them.

Time to start coloring my hair. Really don't want to do it today, but that's what I get for being the world's worst procrastinator. Phooey.

Oh! What are the options?
