Thirteen Random Things About This Week

  1. I have finally ordered my mother a Christmas gift! From eBay, no less.
  2. Some of my gifts are wrapped, but not all. I like to do special wrap jobs - no “wrap it in paper and put a sticky bow on it” for me. Nope nope. I go all out. This year, the theme is red and white (like last year) - however, I’m doing white paper this year, with red trim, instead of last year, where I pretty well did the opposite.
  3. Presents!

    Present Top!

  4. I have decided that while my tree has enough decor, the rest of my house is not near decorated enough.
  5. Tree!

  6. I am not in the mood to knit. I’m just /not/. Post-shawl rebellion, perhaps?
  7. My lastest QPB review has a LOT of books in it that I’d like to read. Or at least skim through at a bookstore to check over.
  8. I am waiting anxiously for DIYplanner’s 2007 calendar templates to come out, so I can redo my planner. This time, I swear, I’ll do better.
  9. Countdown!

  10. It’s that time of the month again and I’m mourning being female and eating pretty much nonstop.
  11. So what better time to make cookies, anyway? Mom and A came over, and we baked. And baked. And baked some more. We have about 16 dozen cookies. Chocolate chip, chocolate chip without the chocolate chips (this sounds bizarre, I know, but it’s my dad’s favorite), cry babies, raisin puffs, (all three of these are my mom’s recipes - rather, my grandma’s), and then we tried a couple new recipes, too - cinnamon coins (not so hot), and kiflins (an almondy cookie that’s VERY good!)
  12. Presents!

  13. I am not done baking yet. I intend to bake more - peanut butter cookies, and sugar cookies, and gingerbread cookies, maybe. Mmm.
  14. In light of the fact that my Windows computer just doesn’t want to return to a state of happy life, I’ve ordered myself pieces for a new one. Will gut this baby out and pop in a new motherboard, a beautiful dual core AMD processor, sadly only a gig of ram (gugh, the DDR2 stuff is pricey!) and a new SATA hard disk. Hopefully, I’ll get no DOA parts, and all will be well!
  15. My cross-stitch project is nearly done! Just working on all the backstitching, which is going pretty fast, and then I just have to put the buttons on! Of course, then I must make it into a pillow or something.
  16. I love Maddy the puppy!
  17. I'm an angel, I swear!

  18. I am getting a mixer (Kitchen Aid Artisan!) for Christmas! Except, I’m getting it early. Like… as soon as Amazon ships it here! Thank you Mom! I’ve been wanting one for a while now. Saving up the money. Figures that as soon as I have enough to buy it and it goes on sale, Mom tells me she’ll buy it for me for Christmas! *laugh* But that works for me! Mine will be Empire Red. Perfect.

  3. I love the wrapping theme. I used to do the same sort of thing, but now my wrapping creativity has devolved into assigning different colors for different family members. *sigh* Maybe next year.
