Yes, you read that right! 29 shopping days left until my birthday! Best time of year to purchase gifts for me. Because, as we know, it's all about me!
I like to joke about that since my birthday falls a month after Christmas and everyone is shopped-out right about now. Well, everyone but my friend Terri. She can shop and shop and shop...
Today should be busy so I'm getting this post done early. Took the dog for a nice long walk, got all my email read and am now mentally preparing myself for the tasks at hand. Cleaning, grocery shopping and finishing the jigsaw puzzle are items on the list. The current puzzle has been tough - Marie picked it out. I'll take a picture once I'm done.
Today is teenage girl day at my house. Marie is having four of her friends over to watch all of the 'Avatar - The Last Airbender' episodes. They are arriving at 10:30. I don't know when they are leaving, tomorrow, I think. So I need more food for them. I will get the standard pizza for dinner but I have no idea what to feed them for lunch. Guess I'll ask Marie once she gets up!
Claire will escape to the Garden Home Rec Center for most of the day. She has been volunteering with the school-age day care, Discovery Club. From Kindergarten through 6th grade she went to Discovery Club every day after school. It was a good program and worked well for her and Marie. I'm very proud of her for volunteering there and for taking it seriously. She seems to enjoy it. We are hopeful that it will turn into a paying job for the summer. If she continues to do well as a volunteer, I think she's a shoe-in for a job.
I must get busy with my chores. Although I might have to put a few pieces in the puzzle before I get started. It is addictive. I tell myself it's keeping my mind active and alert!
