I just went through the to do list I pasted yesterday and it is mostly done.
My school paper is 98% donemail. Just needs to be proof read and maybe expand on the conclusion a bit...but that will have to wait until tonight.
Party prep is done, just need to lay out food and drinks in a couple of hours. For now, working on relaxing and my turn to take a shower.
Oh, man, my poor brother. He slipped & fell in the snow last week and tore his quadriceps tendons. And now he has to have surgery and will be immobilized for at least six weeks, with 6 months of PT. He says it's almost impossible to even put his pants on. So awful.
A very nice photo from someone's weather cam from the Northeast corner of my valley

Your poor brother, Consuela. I hope surgery and recovery go well for him.
Today's been all about the baking for me. Gingerbread, linzer cookies, pecan puffs, and buckeyes. My apartment smells amazing.
Ahahaha, Market Basket?
Kee-rect.
Oh no, your poor brother, Consuela! That sounds awful. Even for a person as lazy as I am!
Went with my mother to get trees (although they were sold out of the table top size I wanted), got the tree upstairs, and then attempted to get it into the stand. The stand that promises to be super easy for one person to use! With a picture of a woman on the box! My mother kept saying, "...maybe we should call [male neighbor]?" I was like, "We are strong women who don't need no man!!!" We did eventually figure out what was wrong, so that's exciting. Will decorate later this week.
I just fumbled my iPad, grabbed it, and managed to end up catching it with the corner landing squarely on my surgical site.
owwwww.
Ow. Ow, ow, Dana!
And poor Consuela's brother!
Ow Dana!!
I made cookies with friends (and one friend made fudge and we helped make truffles) and then we went to a show...but it was with my other friend's exes. And then the not-ex friend posted us on FB. And now I feel bad my friend will see me hanging out with her exes and not with her. :(
OUCH to Consuela's brother and owie owie, owie to Dana.
The cookie swap went great! We have a TON of cookies that I need to organize into a few piles, including one to the local fire department. But that will have to wait for tomorrow.
School paper is submitted, I just need to wrap up a couple of things and then I have to do my work self evaluation tonight. Eeeeckkk, can't believe I missed getting that done before now.
