Christmas trees bought, check… started decorting, check…finished a couch recovering project, check… started cards, check… get it all done by Wednesday, doubt it.
Wednesday looks like it will be the big day for our ivf! The follicles are looking good and depending on what we see for sure tomorrow it looks like the retrieval will be Wednesday, looks like I have two very busy days ahead of me.
I thought I would show you all a chaise lounge that I recovered for somebody. I didn’t konw that she got it from the garbage when I agreed to bring it to my house, but a few sprays of lysol and febreeze and we were mostly good.
Before…. not so nice…
After… very nice… she chose a faux suede and I did a couch for her last year, so now she has a matching set.
*I should make note that I stopped sewing for a bit, but had promised this lady I would do he chaise for her. I really won’t be sewing too much for the next little while especially, but who knows in the new year.
That is how many degrees it is above zero! And it is November 30th for crying out loud. I would not be complaining except that it is pouring rain, and we Northerner’s know what happens when it is hot and raining in November or December, a quick freeze will follow and going anywhere tomorrow will be absolutely aweful. It is also supposed to snow tomorrow, go figure.
Now that I am finished my novel I feel the sudden rush of a million things I have to do in the next 24 days. I thought I would start by making a list. Lists always make me feel better.
- sort out what presents are left to be bought.
- wrap presents that are hidden in A’s closet, before Hubby and J find them…
- write Christmas cards and send, to be done in next five days, thank goodness I ordered them weeks ago.
- start baking!! Yay! One of my favourite parts of Christmas, the baking. I love to bake, but it makes me fat so I only do it for special occaisions and Christmas is a special occaision.
- pick up tree at Ikea. Every year we get our Ikea tree, it costs $15 an you get a $15 coupon to use in the new year, so it is like a free tree. We always get it now because they are ready, but we don’t put it up until next weekend or the weekend after.
- Decorate tree and rest of house. The few new things are already placed around the house, feather tree for my room, Nutcrackers for J in the dinning room, startlights to hang in A’s room for fun…
- wrap more presents.
- Take J to see Santa.
- send presents out to Vancouver.
- Pick up groceries for special occaisions. I love to keep lots of easy quick fix’s on hand around the holidays, that way I can throw together an antipasto platter or cheese and crackers in no time flat, love it.
- Liquor store run… not that I will be drinking, but I like to have a little on hand just in case.
Ok, I think that is my list, I should probobly prioritize them. But, it is a good start. Here we go, off to the races! Day one of the Playmobil Advent starts tomorrow!
I finished my novel! And Won Nanowrimo! Now, I had to hurry the ending oh so much, but it can be stretched out when I edit it in the new year! Hooray!!! Cross another thing off my list of things to do before 40!!!
