How Are You Spending Your Day Today???

ShowMe — Sat, 22 Dec 2018 15:44:16 GMT

Will be spending a big part of my day wrapping my presents. That is if Mr. Lucky doesn't try to get involved. May have to close him up in a room for a while.

Around the house today and getting ready for a busy week. Husband ran to the office. He doesn't enjoy wrapping. Ha. After 39 years, I know him well. Finishing my audio book, C. J. Box. Casual, but productive day. Enjoy your day. Sunshine on the Missouri prairie and blinds are open. Hope STL has good weather as well.

I'm listening to Christmas music while cleaning the living room and dining room. Then I will have a light lunch and shower. Later I will be going to look at Christmas lights with sister and BIL and we will stop somewhere to enjoy dinner. Love this time of year!

@jeanlake......It was 28 here this morning when I got up. And the sun is nice and bright now. But it is supposed to rain here (maybe) tomorrow..... Here's hoping it won't stop my friend and I going out to see the lights tomorrow evening. Well my little feller has gone in and gotten up on the guest bed....now sleeping. Need to get going on the gift wrapping while he is zonked out.

We think, we just might have enough Christmas stuff done (although not wrapping, aaaaagh-- I'm left-handed and loathe wrapping) to play hooky and dash to Home Depot to look at light fixtures. Our entry hall is hideous and neglected, and we MUST start tackling it, one eyesore at a time. (Ceiling next.)

Then on to lunch I hope, at a favorite Pakistani restaurant...

Around the beginning of every yearly quarter I start my 'quarterly house duties'. Stuff like stripping my bed of all linens and washing it, cleaning under my stove and fridge and also changing out my furnace filter. Since it's the end of the year now, I also start gathering my paperwork for tax filing. Once-a-year chores are on the list waiting but I have already started to do a few of them now.

We had Chistmas with the grand kids last night....but dh and I are doing some running shortly to get groceries (rarely take DH to the grocery with me, today is an exception) for Christmas day, which will be a laid back day but we still need to eat.

At the moment, I'm just finishing late breakfast.

In about 1/2 an hour I need to start getting ready. I have a standing Saturday commitment and I need to be someplace at 2:30 pm. Not back home until about 6:00 pm or so.

Leftovers for dinner. Some TV, some reading, some knitting .... then to bed!

Listening to Christmas music while cleaning. And also waiting on Fed Ex.

Laundry and cleaning out the fridge. Without all of those empty mustard bottles and jelly jars, it looks so bright in there! and empty! lol

@ShowMe Good luck with your gift wrapping. Maybe Mr. Lucky will decide on a nap (i know, wishful thinking!) 'Hope all goes well and you both enjoy your day!

@SuesCat......Fortunately, he has decided to take a nap on the guest bed. All the gifts, wrapping paper, gift bags, etc. all are in the guest room. Will try to sneak in there to get all of that. Should have done that before while he was awake. Now is his usual time for a nap.....so, here's hoping.....lol Love the picture.

Now you need to go grocery shopping to fill the fridge back up.....lol. I do try to keep mine cleaned out every week. But, it doesn't always get done..... Sounds like you have some energy today. Have a good one.

I got my last package from Amazon this AM. so the gifts are all present and accounted for . I made a batch of ginger molasses cookies, which I now have to stay away from, sigh. I think this afternoon I'm going to have a cup of tea and Kindle time, with some holiday music, a little calm before the .Christmas storm.🎄

Just had to have some groceries but couldn't make myself go to the store. So I placed an online order with Walmart which I'll pick up this afternoon. Then they have to be put away.

I have everything Christmas related done. We had a big windstorm here (PNW) a couple of days ago. Rain showers are predicted today so I am going out to sweep off the patio and front walks of all the pine cones and small branches before the rain showers begin.

I'm visiting my mother this week. I'm just about done hanging wallpaper in the kitchen. That's part of her Christmas present. Then we'll have a quick lunch, run out to the recycling drop off center and the store. That will do it for me today. I'll be bushed when that's done.
