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?

I've become SO lazy about coloring my hair. Part of the problem is that the blue is just such a comfortable color for me that my brain assumes it's natural, and that I don't have to dye it. Sadly, reality does not conform to this, and I end up with atrocious roots.

I don't really know what the options are. I have various versions of black floating through my mind though.

I think either the black pants with lacing up the sides or a floaty shapeless black dress. I am not feeling sexy so I will have to doll up with cute shoes and accessories.

I have a long black vest thing too which would work over the pants (or dress) but cover up the side lacing that makes them festive.

I'm cat-sitting for a friend who's got a thing for jewelry and shoes, while I have a thing for hating shopping but being perfectly content to borrow liberally. She's given me carte blanche to rummage through her things.

Damn that is a great picture of the Miracleborns too! Wowza.
