Here it is... December... less than 25 days left until Christmas... and the question is... "Am I ready"? The answer is simple... NO! But, I am prepared somewhat in the tasks to come... I have the ingredients bought to make the cookies... I have Cody's present bought. It just needs to get wrapped. I have a gift I found for my brother, which I have to ship it to him. Jennifer & Jon gave me their list, which I need to just make time and get to the store. I bought fabric today, for mom-in-law... just need to make the gift. I need to get a gift for Scott, and make him some cookies, then ship all of it to him. Now, what is left... OH... Dennis... I am not sure what he needs. We usually just go and get something for the house for both of us. We need a new personal computer as the present one is 8 years old... it has been a great one... never a lick of trouble... but, I better not say that too loud. I just may jinx myself. And, my Pop... I bought him some clothes. I think that is it. Can I do all of this in 20 days?? Well, I really do not have a choice in that matter. I MUST do it in 20 days. There are other things that I have probably forgotten that need to be on the above list... I'll think about them tomorrow!
Did I write in my last blogging that I was taking knitting lessons?? Well, if not, Yes, I am! And, I am really loving it! So far, I have made about 4 dishcloths, a wool hat and scarf to match, (which I have been using since winter has set in!), and one sock... I started the second sock last night and am hoping that the pair will be complete long before Christmas. This pair is mine, and my feet and toes will be most appreciative during the winter season! Dennis might even appreciate them, too... because I won't have to put my ice cold feet next to him (usually ON him)... in bed, to get them warm again! Oh... it's the little things in life that keep it interesting! I also have a list of things I WANT to make in the upcoming months. I am definitely addicted to the knitting thing! Now I'll be going to Quilt Shops and Yarn Shops!! Such a rough life I have!!
We have 2 dogs... both miniature, short-haired dachshunds... both are 12 years old. Both are sick right now... seriously sick... like I am down to the last treatment for both of them and if it doesn't work, the next step is putting them down. No, they do not have the same ailments, and I won't go into details. But, the medication and vet bills are killing me! Today was my 3rd trip to the vets office since Monday! Not good! Especially when I have to travel about 30 miles one way and gas prices are on the rise... So, I'll let you know in 2 weeks how they are doing. That's the trial period for the medications... if they work, fine... if they don't... we'll be dog-less, because we have decided that we will have no more animals until Dennis retires... maybe 20 years...
Well, I am going to go get some comfy clothes on... watch a movie and do some knitting. AAAAHHHHHHHHH.... that sounds like a won-der-ful plan!
Happy Stitching!
