And on to the Chit Chat for the evening...
Reading: Nothing. I just don't have the down time right now!
Watching: Tonight's "show of the evening" is Glee! I have discovered that I like having a marathon of a particular show. Right now, I have 3 episodes of Glee recorded, so that will take me through the night...and clear 3 hours of space on the DVR.
Listening to: Bubble Guppies (Bossy). The shower going upstairs (Sassy).
Cooking/Baking: Baking....see above. Cooking....I have to say that "I" really haven't cooked. G-man did a pork shoulder in the crockpot, so we have been picking off of that this weekend. I am trying to find some quick meals to make in the next few days. Our December is so crazy... I need to get ahead of the game.
Happy you accomplished this week: Oh my....today has been busy! Tons of laundry and dishes (the wonder of not having a dishwasher...). I cleaned the main bathroom, including changing the nasty curtain liner. Earlier in the week I made a garland for the stairs, set up the snowman display, and have taken out a few other decor. I am hoping that by Tuesday I will have finished with the Christmas-ing of the house (minus the "big" tree, which we will get on Friday).

Looking forward to next week: This coming Friday, the 7th seems to be the day of "events." We have both kids' parent-teacher conferences, Sassy has a Girl Scout singing event at the local Senior Center, and getting the main Christmas tree!
Thankful for today: Organization! I have been able to work on the Christmas decorating without making a huge mess. I can find what I need....take it out....and do my thang. In years past, I was emptying totes and making a huge mess. Right now, I can say that the totes are in process of emptying, but are neatly stacked in the playroom. No pieces parts!
*BONUS QUESTION*
You receive a clothing gift from someone who is very close to you, but you absolutely HATE it. Yet you KNOW that they're going to expect you to wear the item & "can't wait to see you in it!!!" What do you do?
First off, anyone who knows me knows that I wear my heart on my sleeve. Just opening a gift like this is bound to cause problems, because I won't be able to fake my enthusiasm. If the gift giver wasn't there, I would probably put it away, and never look at it again. If I knew I would see the person....I MIGHT suck it up and wear it. But I can't imagine that I would ever end up in this situation.
