Where are we at…60 hours?

December 22, 2007 at 8:02 pm · Filed under Lily, Vinnie's Head

Ah, have I ever mentioned how nice the 8 o’clock hour is at my house?  I think I like it more on the days when Lily decides to skip her nap.  She’s out for the count, Leo is out and there is a football game coming on.

The presents are bought – most are wrapped – and it’s smooth sailing to Tuesday morning.

Lily, tonight, expressed a bit of apprehension about Monday night.  Seems she has some concerns with a strange guy coming into her house and roaming around.   Sounds like she might be sleeping in our room in a sleeping bag for at least part of Christmas Eve!

Lunchtime

The farmer’s market was good.  I scored a cool windchime made out of spoons.  And a neat looking bird feeder.  And some honey.   The rule is we never pass up honey at a farmer’s market.  Lily and I both needed a haircut, so we got that taken care of at a nearby barber.  Good haircuts, just took forever.

We’ve had lunch and now Lily is heading up for a nap.

It’s supposed to be a nice sunny day, but this fog is hanging around.  We expected this to have burned off by now.  Still pleasant outside and we have the windows open – no AC!!!

Top of the mornin’ to ya

Wow, barely 72 hours to Christmas morning.  Up til now, I don’t know that Lily had a very good grasp of “when” Christmas was.  Now I can tell her Christmas Eve is the day after tomorrow.  And I think she gets it.

She let me skip pancakes this morning on account of the fact that I was in the kitchen for four hours yesterday making cookies and then dinner.  We’ll try and do one last batch of cookies this afternoon.

Diane has a haircut appointment early this afternoon, so the inmates will be running the asylum around here.

Not sure what we are doing this morning.  There is a new farmer’s market in town I wanted to check out so we might go there.  I also need a trip to Home Depot for an extension cord.

Other than that, it’s a regular Saturday.  I might give the dogs a bath.  I’ve got to vacuum the pool.

I’m feeling a little better.  Still a bad cough and chest congestion.  I hate being sick.
