The View From Kalamazoo

Well, I’m afraid I’m behind compiling information on that new Google library project – Bri’s Aunt passed after a long (too long), drawn-out battle with Huntington’s Disease…it’s been a busy week.
SO, in case you’re one of the three people who haven’t yet heard:
Search and Research: Google Takes Libraries Online
Google brings libraries into cyber-age
Still waiting on a surgery date.
Must finish rolling and baking cookies, and decorating with Em tonight. (last night: decorating the dough ornaments we did the night before [along with 2 pans of bourbon fudge, and both butter and sugar cookies doughs to sit in the fridge and chill] and wrapping little gifties for her 2 teachers, teacher consultant, and another Em often eats lunch with [so her food intake can be closely monitored and encouraged]. whew!)
Must make another pan of bourbon fudge – although hubby hates it, so perhaps I should be nice and make a pan of something sans orange extract. As long as it involves no %&#@!! marshmallow fluff I’m fiiiine.
Must finish all shopping adventures pretty darn fast, there is no good reason to put it off longer, as I don’t get paid again til after the holiday so I’d just better get to it with what little jingle is left in my pocket.
Must call to see what the heck to get Em’s cousins. One out-of-state package sent, two to go. AIEE!
Another must: Boy and I blew out 4 eggs (used in the cookie dough, of course) – he and I will work on a little-person decoupage and glitter ornament project with tissue paper, ribbon, and luck. What a hoot.
I think I’m nuts.
At least 90% of my available wrapping is done. Tuesday is Yule – we open our gifties. Then Friday we stop-by-stop make our way halfway across the state for some Santa action at my Grandmother’s house and stocking fun. THEN the next day, Em’s birthday, we give her gifts in birthday wrap, thankyouverymuch, she picks a lunch locale (usually involving a playland), and then we go out to the movie of her choice to celebrate (and then call Bumpa to wish them a happy anniversary! yegods!).
Nope – I’m certain I’m nuts. Someone peel me off the floor at the end of the month – I’ll have collapsed, I’m positive.
