Busy week, busy weekend, busy week, busy weekend…that’s how the rest of the year plays out (see last post). I’m feeling rather accomplished, considering how much I have to get done. The house is decorated for Christmas (no tree(s), that will be in 2 weeks, most likely and I got the cookies baked for the cookie exchange on Tuesday. Had a lovely dinner with Debbie and Camilla yesterday and presents to be mailed are ready to go, and I’m finishing my Christmas cards tonight, so I feel like I’m ahead of schedule, yay!<\/p>\n
The weather has gotten quite cold now, thought it’s still fluctuating. I hope it doesn’t snow though. Last year, it snowed like crazy this exact weekend when we were having our Friendsgiving and as a result, everyone left really early. This year, it isn’t until this coming weekend, but I just looked and guess what’s on the forecast for Saturday? UGH.<\/p>\n
I haven’t made it to a Christmas market this year, and I’m kind of sad about it, even though I rarely buy anything…they’re just fun to browse. The one in Flyinge was LAST weekend (way too early) and this weekend and next are just too busy.<\/p>\n
I’m both looking forward to and dreading different things about our Friendsgiving party on Saturday. There is some behind-the-scenes drama among some parties that I hope won’t be in play during our dinner. And one person that I have a bet on with myself will call and cancel last minute. <\/p>\n
Karin asked me to go shopping with her on Friday, but it ended up not happening, for which I was actually glad, since it was full-on Black Friday here. Why import the worst American traditions when you don’t have to, and when the reason for its very existence is a holiday that doesn’t even exist in Sweden?? I say, if you’re going to have Black Friday, then you have to have Thanksgiving!<\/p>\n
Anyway, I need to go call Martin and then finish up my cards before bed. Toodles!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
