So much to do.......so relax!

Wow...just a few more days until the holiday and Himslef and I have a ton of stuff to get done!

Knitting (To Do):
  1. Albers: Father-In-Law and Ben
  2. Canadians: JF (Molly is getting so much I have forgotten all that I have knitted for her)
  3. New Zealanders: Done!
  4. Dad's Family: getting conventional prezzies
  5. Mom's Family: regular prezzie for T&J; need to finish socks for Grammie (that have been sitting unfinished since at least August)
  6. Office: Kayd's (at least started), Doris (still yarn), Brian...SOL
House Cleaning:
(The Canadians will arrive on Wednesday and the house looks....."well lived in" is the term I would go for. I have cleaned the toilet anbd tub, but other stuff takes too much time from knitting. MUST DO TODAY!)

Cookies:
YEA HIMSELF! Thank goodness I married someone who likes to be in the kitchen. I almost feel guilty sitting and knitting while he is standing, slaving away over the oven. Whew....maybe I should clean the house to make up for it.
This year we will be distributing:
  1. Peanut Clusters
  2. Fudge
  3. Sugar Cookies
  4. Brown Sugar Cookies
  5. Applesauce-Oatmeal Cookies
  6. Butterscotch & and Choc Chip Cookies
  7. Heath Cookies
  8. Lace Florentines
See what I mean...I totally need to clean the house to make up for not having to do any of that!

Relax: Make sure to spend precious knitting time playing board games with friends and goofing off in the snow! Take time to sit in the hot tub and dare friends to roll around in snow piles made by Himself. CHECK...at least I can take that one off the list!

Don't worry too much about having the house clean for us - we're accustomed to "well lived in." As for making lists.. I've got to go get started on one for being ready to leave on Tuesday!! The knitting has been stalled for a week or so while I've been trying to finish school, work, and organize two AFS thingies. Can't wait to eat some of those cookies, though!!
