Go, smonster, go! My to-do list:

• Write check for catsitter, leave with instructions on table
• Write check to choir pal, put in mail
• Fold laundry
• Pack
• Wash stuff that can't go in dishwasher
• Email L
• Call M

Tomorrow morning:

• Take out compost
• Run dishwasher

Hmm. Is that it? I feel like there was more. Though it's really the packing that is the onerous part.

My list (for tomorrow)

• make mocha cookies
• bake off the cranberry-pistachio icebox cookies
• give smonster cookies when she stops by
• shower and prep for fancy dinner at Restaurant August
• unload dishwaher
• follow up on packages sent to my mom and sister

I am loving staying home for Christmas!

My list for tomorrow:

• 1 load laundry
• pick up a couple more gifts
• pack my stuff for weekend
• remember the figs/gifts for Christmas
• hair cut?
• dye hair?
• gather all the planning stuff
• sweep kitchen floor
• do any dishes
• put out trash and recycling

I love only having to drive forty minutes!

I'm not leaving til Saturday, so my list for tomorrow is really:

• work
• buy coffee for BIL present
• go to friend's hanukkah party
• try not to run screaming with boredom

I went to the ginormous liquor store and got an unbroken stein (as well as a chardonnay and a shiraz, for lo, I am weak in the face of good wine) and even wrapped it as soon as I got home.

And 7-layer miracle not-cookie bars are in the oven.

I even did dishes.

Thus endeth my to-do list.

My list - make a list! But that will happen tomorrow. I spent the last 6 days with DH at a basketball tournament. The last few years I couldn't attend out of town tournaments because I had to take care of Brandy, or business, or kids. This year I realized I could join him. I was the entire cheer leading crew and I know the boys and coaches appreciated my support.

I have not purchased even one Christmas gift. I did get my dear gf a Hanukkah gift. But tomorrow is another day and being able to join Brendon and participate in his passion was a good thing. Also, the team did me proud. They impressed a whole lot of people not easily impressed. Woot!

Reading the list making here has me inspired - for tomorrow. (did I mention that my poor son is reading GWTW for his lit class, pity him)

• Put a load of laundry on the indoor line downstairs. DONE
• Put away the booty of today's four-stop shopping spree. (This is IT. I am never shopping again. At least in 2011.) DONE-ish
• Finish Holiday cards and get them ready to send out. DONE
• Get Daniel to sign Holiday cards. DONE
• Decide the best presentation of a cheap, pre-paid cell phone for a beloved coworker who does not have one and cannot afford one. We took up a collection for it because she does a lot of driving and we worry about her safety. And it does not have to be a financial burden on her after the prepaid time/minutes are up, because she will still be able to call 911 in an emergency and that is what we want for her. THIS CAN WAIT
• Ride in Daniel's new (to us) van. DONE
• Put holiday cards in the mail. DONE
• Ride around in Daniel's new van, looking at lights after having dropped the cards into a mailbox. DONE
• Eat leftovers from yesterday's jaunt to Famous Dave's. DONE

Oh, sweet Jesus. 7-layer bar dealie made with oats instead of graham crackers?

It is the cracktastic love child of Samoas and no-bake cookies. Oh my lord.

t edit And now I need a glass of milk.
