Hello There! Happy Solstice! Merry Christmas!
It has been a busy morning, but now it is shortly after 11 a.m. and things are winding down at work. I hope to get out of here by Noon. I'd like a nap and then a shower and then Colin will be over for dinner tonight (Mailing is doing something with her co-workers).
My oven is still not fixed - it should be either today or tomorrow. Luckily I had things in the freezer that I could make on the stove or warm up in the microwave. Last night we did order from the local pizza place and tonight will be take out from a Chinese place.
Shopping is mostly done. I have a few remaining stocking stuffers to pick up and a few things to wrap. It seems like a nice pace this year - not frantic down to the wire.
The weekend looks like fun. Tomorrow morning I'm meeting Dee for coffee and knitting and chatting (I wonder if there will be a parade???). Then we are heading over to Northbound for lunch - a place that Colin and Mailing recommended. And tomorrow night we are going out to dinner to celebrate Anna's birthday (Mailing's sister). A full day, but all fun things!
Knitting on the Arctic Fox socks continues as does reading Kingdom of the Blind which is certainly not disappointing. I expect to finish that (maybe tonight??) and start in on The Feather Thief next.
Wishing you all a most relaxing and joyful Holiday Season.
I'm just waiting on pricing for a work document, then I'm free!!!!! Shouldn't be long now!
ReplyDeleteI've got cookies to bake and presents to wrap. Saturday is off to my brother's (three hours away), then Christmas Eve with Dave's family, Christmas day with my parents. It's going to be busy but fun!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend and very merry Christmas!
I hope by now you are home and ready for a good bit of time off to enjoy family and plans.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds as though you have a wonderful weekend planned. I’m glad you’ll have your oven fixed in time for Christmas. Meeting with Dee sounds like a wonderful thing to do. I’m sure there will be a parade. There is always a parade when you two get together! I don’t know how you do it! Enjoy your afternoon and weekend my friend.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Betsy
I'm still at work! I'll be lucky to get out by 4, but I'm not complaining. I have a two-week vacation ahead of me.
ReplyDeleteI hope your oven is fixed soon. I would hate to be unable to bake cookies.
Happy time off! OH , not a good time to be without an oven . Yikes.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad my family has time off and we can be together
Take some kazoos with you tomorrow, then you and Dee can start your own parade! Enjoy your vacation.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your stove breaking is working out well for you.. time off from cooking! LOL! Have a fabulous holiday time.

There will surely be a parade! Enjoy your time off and plenty of reading and knitting. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and all the best in 2019!
ReplyDeleteSigh. My oven is still not fixed, either, nor will it be until well after the holidays.
ReplyDeleteYou are having a nice weekend! YAY! Here's to a relaxing Christmas.
oh I hope there was a parade! ... and that you're enjoying every bit of this fun time! happy vacation and Merry Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and I hope your stove comes quickly!!
ReplyDeleteDespite oven problems, reads like you had a lovely holiday weekend and day! Here’s to more this week. Hope the oven’s working now.
ReplyDeleteCheers~
Hope you had a great Christmas! Let us know what you think of the Feather Thief. I've been curious about that one, but somehow I tend to fail when it comes to non fiction reading. Happy New Year!
