Monday morning - Christmas EveEve
Dec. 23rd, 2002 09:47 amI can't believe it's so close to Christmas already. This month has flown by. I have two or three more presents to wrap, but other than that, I'm done with the whole shopping thing. Well. I am. Magnus still hasn't gotten me much of anything, it seems. I guess that's okay, since I can't think of anything I really want, and I can always use Christmas money! :)
Last night, Magnus did the dishes and then around midnight, we both went in and cleaned up the kitchen. It's needed it for a while, lots of junk lying about that needed putting up. I told him that I didn't feel all that guilty about asking him to help (since I'm currently the housewife) since the kitchen is still his job. He claims that the dishes are his job.. but obviously, cleaning the counters off is part of doing dishes! Even his bachelor best friend agreed with me on that one!
I finally gave up on fixing the other computer for now and have installed the scanner over here on mine. It's taking up so much desk space, but I guess I can live with it for now. I scanned and fixed with several new additions to the tatty blog last night, so I feel somewhat productive. I finished the gift for my grandparents last night. I just wish I could figure out exactly what to do about my cousin. The year I got married, I bought him a shirt or something, and he didn't get me anything. The next year, he was 18, so I didn't get him anything, and he got me something. So.. I don't know. We used to be pretty close, but now I don't even see him most of the year, and when we do see each other, we don't have all that much to say. Kinda sad, really.
I have some things to get done this morning, though, so I should go get at them. We might end up in Lexington or Elliott County today, or we might end up staying home. Either we shop for my Christmas present or we might go put up Papaw's Christmas tree so we can have our Christmas Eve at his house, or we stay home and do nothing much. The Swedish Christmas ham fell through (takes too long) so I don't know what I'll make for my baby! I can't have the "one food per Christmas" thing fall through on the second year! :)
