* Whew *
After all that ironing yesterday, I am TAKING IT EASY for the Final Friday of the year.
I've got my clothes ready for dh to pack, and that's about it for today.
I called the bank auto-teller to make sure checks were deposited.
Sent daunt an email.
Later, I need to call the cleaners and see if dh's pants are ready. If so, we'll pick them up.
Also need to go back to the drug store -- forgot one rx yesterday.
DH needs to fill up the car. He's already been to the post office. He also cooked his own breakfast and let me sleep (scrambled eggs.)
Re: the ironing -- I do
my clothes just like Harmony said -- tumble briefly, then hang to dry. Works perfectly well for me.
Dmom says I spoiled dh back in the early days of our marriage. Now he wants everything ironed and is completely inept at doing it himself.
Usually, I use that time to catch up on the DVR shows I've recorded, but yesterday, I didn't have much to catch up on. Watched a couple episodes of Little House on the Prairie.
Did I tell y'all -- dmom found the picture (16x20 of herself, age 7) she has been looking for since sometime before Christmas!
It was in the closet, lying flat, with two other prints on top of it. She said she guessed she put it there, and the others lying in the frame of it to keep them flat, with plans to take it to get a new frame, and get frames for the others. She thinks this must have been her plan, BEFORE that really scary fall that put her in the hospital with a concussion. She says, "I vaguely remember thinking I'd do that..."
She is sooo relieved to have this mystery solved!
I need to do dishes, Cathy... completely ignored supper dishes last night...
Also need to follow Kathryn's example & s2s...
Blessed, can you post a link to the F lady holiday cards?
I love your idea of stocking stuffers throughout the year!
Dmom used the envelope system for purchases a few years ago. It worked very well for her, but when one does a lot of online shopping, it gets more complicated -- I would end up having to go to the bank and get all sorts of odd change for each envelope.
(((HUGS))) re: a dh who can't see or smell. I know exactly what you mean.
I'm dragging around today. Did NOT get my 8 hours sleep in, and I've eaten poorly since getting out of bed. Spent a lot of time IN bed, trying to read about the Gettys. That was a good movie, IMHO (All the Money in the World.). Some of the reviews are not so great. We both liked it, and I told dh afterwards, I cannot even imagine anyone other than Christopher Plummer playing Getty. (Y'all know, this is the one where Kevin Spacey was replaced after all filming was completed, b/c of the sexual harassment complaints against him.) I'm not professional movie critic, but I could not tell that he was spliced in at all. However, if I were him, after playing J. Paul Getty and Ebeneezer Scrooge, I'd definitely be hoping my next role was a more likable fellow, LOL.
Lots of tragedy in the Getty family, a lot brought on by their own drug use... but certainly proves that money doesn't buy happiness.
Waving to ALL!
