I've been inspired by a fellow Lister. Yes, yes, lists are a fact of life in my household or things just wouldn't get done. And I agree, there is a feel good something about being able to scratch through something on your list. Something Momentous about scratching through a list of tasks.
My life is a whirl wind. Between the Girls, Travis, Work, Thanksgiving and Christmas, not to mention Halloween which I Still haven't posted pictures of, I would be dead without my lists.
I actually carry with me a little spiral notebook that I write things down in. It's one of my many necessities that I carry in my purse of a traveling office. Now that's a fun list to think about. At this very moment, here are a few things I have in my purse right now. Sunglasses (a must), bottle of hair spray, box a BOX of checks, previously mentioned spiral notebook, lotion, small cosmetic pouch with, wait let me count, 11 lip glosses of some kind, Michel's Ad(with coupon), calender, gum(sweet mint my fav) and a variety of loose papers that are important in some way or another.
But, back to the notebook, I have a few hundred things to get accomplished right now.
Some of the more important things are finishing my Christmas Craft. I took a small hiatus from this time honored tradition and I'm so happy it has found it's way back into my life. Simple as it will sound, I'm making the old favorite....Paper Garlands. The are precious, kid friendly and have that nostalgic look to them. The will adorn my Christmas tree and be a festive entrance into my kitchen.
Psst.......WalMart has the cutest Martha Stewart Craft Paper and embellishments. You should REALLY go and check it out, weather you like that store or not, because it's really Fun=)
Then there are things like the gifts I'm making, the cookies I'm baking and the gingerbread house I'm decorating. GOOD THING I GET A FEW WEEKS OFF!
Oh yhea, and I'm in charge of a few things at Thanksgiving. It's important to have some of the 'Classics' at the dinner table. One that I will be in charge of is.........drum roll please..................... Candied Yams. They are my favorite, and I wouldn't be very Holidayish with out it! I'll also be trying out a Sweet Potato recipe for the first time, we have alot of folks, we need alot of stuff.
So even though this life is hectic, it's good. I'm happy, I'm feeling the Christmas spirit and I'm ready to Deck My Halls.
