Peeking in but really shouldn't be here. . . Lots to do to get ready for the helia hotel this week! LOL! In terms of gifts, we're doing most of our celebrating on 1/4 or 1/5, but I think we're going to exchange gifts with the C family on Christmas day itself, so I need to get a gift for R and then I'll be done with them. I'm done with E and C as well, though I might change the book I'm giving to C.
LOL Twins and Harriet! I have not started wrapping.
Last night, dh and I sat down and planned activities and menus through Christmas day. We'll have 6 - 9 people in our house, starting tomorrow. And going out to eat is not an easy option with dd23's celiac -- so, we'll be feeding 6 - 9 adults for 7 days in a row (mostly 8 - 9 adults, though E and C leave the 26th but return the 30th for 1 night) - and Christmas dinner will be for 11 adults and 1 child. I'm not used to feeding the masses multiple meals on a daily basis. Dh is willing to help with cooking, and I'm going to keep breakfasts super simple and lunch will be on your own, basically.
My main goals for today:
1. Huge groc. shopping trip
2. Finish washing towels and bedding; I had to buy more to host everybody well.
3. Pepper to the vet at 2; she has another patch of moist dermatitis. . .
4. Go for a jog; weight is stable but at a higher level than I like.
5. Payroll: grading
The a.m. routine is almost done. Plus some laundry started and a grocery list made. Grocery shopping is next after some qt.
