Wrapped up

Amy -- sorry Izzy is sick! But good for you on the soup, parking and trainer!

I've been wrapped up with my life and my relatives and my holiday doings. Both literally and figuratively. Took a walk as a family Friday. That was nice. Today we went to lunch and got our Tofurky. Then came home and Paul cleaned the savannah monitor's tank and then worked on his dulcimer. I got laundry shuttling again and worked on cleaning more of the garage. Julia bopped around "helping" each of us. I found ssome nail decal stickers I got for my niece ages ago and let Julia put on the "hearts" theme set. Her tiny fingers are still so small those tiny nail stickers are too big!

I'm soooo close to being done with the Christmas shopping that I'm practically jumping for joy at every moment because it means I'm not going to be all stressed out during the weekends in December. I can just spend those shopping and decorating the house for my kid. I was starting to wrap the kid stuff and I got half done. I was checking my shopping list for purchases for the grandparents.Getting there.

Got through the BBQ for MIL's birthday reasonably well. Not great -- def. need to bring enough vegan food for TWO meals rather than just one.

Gearing up for Thanksgiving at MIL's now -- so I got a Tofurky Feast and plan on making roasted potatoes and lemon broccoli to go with it. It's going ot be 11 people I think. Granny Jones, Julia and I are the only veggie people so the Tofurky covers us well enough and then the sides to share will all ought to be ok. But I'm going to stick some PB&J in the car just in case. I'm not going ot risk runnign out of food like at the BBQ and then diving into the nearest place that sells fries so I wouldn't go beser k with low blood sugar.

5 AM and I am up way late given I have church inthe morning and then a tea party in the afternoon.
