I just went to Starbucks for a nice morning treat and ended up giving a little quilting lesson to the girl behind the counter. It was much fun, and a nice way to start the day.
This almost makes me wish for a Starbucks here. And enough motivation to leave the house.
I have almost all my Christmas shopping done, with only a couple of little, not critical things to purchase...I think. But lest you get congratulatory or jealous, I have not yet:
- written a list of the people I'm giving to and what they're getting, so I could be missing major bits
- wrapped, packed or mailed anything, and most things really should have been mailed at least several days ago, as mail to and from Juneau tends to be craptastically slow.
- cleaned or decorated the place at all; currently my floors and futon are covered with an interesting but gross combination of yarn and paper bits and copious cat hair. blech.
I have promised myself to get the critical presents finished, wrapped, packed and mailed today. One won't make it, because I know I won't have time to do any of the others if I take the time to finish making it (knitting the top of the stocking is going slower than expected - worry not Trudy, this is not yours), and even if I do focus on this one, I still may not finish. I spy a lunch errand on Monday or Tuesday in my future.
I suppose this all means I should get off of b.org and start working, huh.
