1. Get off work early (score!!) and head to park for a walk in gorgeous 65 degree weather while the SUN is still out.
2. Trim cats' nails. Be ignored by cats for rest of evening.
3. Debut this hairdo.
4. Make 3 separate Christmas lists - Mom, Dad, and extended family gift exchange. This is harder than it may sound. It involves dividing items based on price and extent of desire to receive them so that shoppers have a variety of items to choose from and also that I still get the items I would most like/need (new ironing board cover - that's a need not a want, folks).
5. Write 2 VERY overdue thank you notes.
6. Fold laundry.
7. Gaze at this tree a bit. Ok, the bottom 1/3 is actually lit, but it just doesn't look like it in this picture.
8. Decide whether or not to do something about piles of books on bedside table - ALL of which I have started, only one of which I have finished. Sigh.
9. Make pizza for dinner instead of healthy thing with cabbage from my garden.
10. Make list of folks to send Christmas cards to.
11. Write another blog post. And a second scheduled to be posted later. And maybe start another.
12. Work on this knitting project while watching guilty pleasure Revenge (which is maybe getting too soapy/stressful even for me).
13. Decide what recipes to bring to December events where a dish is required:
- ranch bacon dip with garlic rounds for SEC championship
- caramel/toffee apple dip for Advent kick-off at church
- Pioneer Woman french pastry/donut things for neighborhood brunch
- Aunt Dorothy's rice casserole for community group dinner??? (still debating this one)
14. Search itunes for Christmas albums to add to Spotify Christmas playlist.
15. Drink hot cocoa with marshmallows while sitting next to fire in fireplace!
