(no subject)

I got a lot done today - I worked, got some last minute gifts, dropped some stuff off at the bank for the chorus (actually for Mr Bear for the chorus), made a box and used it to ship a gift to WI and bought ornaments for an ornament swap/caroling on Sunday.

We have a Christmas party tonight (at 9 - what a weird hour) but My goal is to get the area rug in the basement cleaned up and bring it up to the family room. Once that is in I can move most of the furniture back into the room. I'll need Mr Bear's help tomorrow for the sofa.

The house and life seems to be coming back into some sort of order and that feels good.

On a side note, I realize now why I shop so early. I HATE shopping in the holidays. There's too many people and they're all in a big rush and are rude.

Note to self: Shop early, stock pile food so you don't have to go to a shopping center until January. ;-P

Oh, and more good news - I'm back to the weight I was before I left for Atlanta. That extra 5 pounds really bummed me out. I stand a chance of hitting my goal of 190 by New Years. I'm not going to go crazy trying to hit it though - it is the holidays and all. ;-)

Ok, time to get at that rug. I can't wait to get the room/house back in order.
