All packages to the post office. Late but done. I went twice. There were no lines either time I went. Never have had that happen before in December.

After the post office trips, dd treated me to a Peppermint Blizzard from DQ. Excellent but our DQ closes tomorrow until Feb.

You can see what was accomplished from my morning list in my previous post. Here are the other things that I did:
( :rnament: ) Make cookie doughs (6 done)
( :rnament: ) Baked up 2 types of cookies
( :rnament: ) Got my upstairs mini-tree decorated and working

I did it! I managed to stay home all day and accomplished a whole lot. I still have a few things to do but I feel much more in control with what I got done today.

It looks like many of us are really moving along for Christmas. Thanks to all of you for helping me keep focused and accountable. Let us know how you finished up! :sleigh:

MY shopping is now DONE

Still have to wrap and bake, and do some general grocery shopping.....BUt I'm VERY happy!!!!

 

[KimD]

Last night I had to unwrap and rewrap. I lost my list somewhere, and since I have to head to the mall on friday I needed to know what I still had to get for my kids. Didn't end up being to bad since after I started, I started to remember what I had already bought them.

I know about that lost list thing. Week before last when i was finishing my Christmas shopping at Wal-mart, I was running off two lists, one for groceries and one to finish Christmas. In the middle of the store I lost the Christmas list!! I backtracked for probably a half hour and couldn't find it! Luckily I was almost done and could rack my brain to remember the rest. I finished my shopping and didn't forget anything, but talk about panic!!! I have never done that but I usually only have one list now I know why.
I finished all my baking on Wed. made DH goodie plate for work, and the teacher bags, and goodies for asst. family members. This is feeling so good this year. Thursday is house cleaning day, we are almost there!!! I so love being organized. :haha:
