Two weeks later and not much has changed...

I just saw my rant dated 12/1.... I had another one all queued up and ready to go... same topic - two weeks later.

In the intervening two week's time, I have baked, cleaned, done laundry, did dishes, worked a full time job with a commute, attended the company Christmas get together, with a nearly 2 hour drive home, attended a meeting, assisted with a dinner, and dealt with the Girl's group cookie orders... NOT to mention, walking the dog and ensuring she is fed, pilled and generally tended to...

Oh yeah, and hosted a sleep over for 9 girls and one adult, including shopping cookies, icing for said cookies and general house pick up...

Bubba has, gone to work, bitched about my time at the lodge, and went to Ohio to see a hockey game.

Did I mention the gift wrapping and ordering (on line)???

Did I also mention the broken nail at 5:55 AM this morning even because Butt head couldn't put my Easy pass toll hicky-thing back where he got it (in my car)???  And I need it for MY morning commute???  So I had to dig out my key to his car, and dig around his car to where he stashed the damn thing.

No Aunt Ing was  NOT!  a happy woman this morning.

We are now into the week before Christmas -- to say life is busy  -- let's just go with bears and woods and what come naturally... or Shelby on a walk... equal pile of 'stuff'. 

Now all my meetings for the year are done -- but I do have a dinner out Tuesday, a hair appointment on Wednesday, 4 more kinds of cookies to make, and gifts to wrap, cookies to parse out to co-workers and have I mentioned the Egg Nog???  I will be chugging that stuff by the time I get around to making it!!!

There is something wrong with me.  I took Sunday night off - sort of.  I made pizza for dinner, and I managed to wrap 4 gifts.  Yeah me.  Bubba sat on his ass and did a whole lot of nothing, he napped after his busy weekend away of dining and hockey.

I have to find time to go to a mall and pick up some stuff, a trip to Wally world for a video game, Bubba heaven help me is researching a toy for the niece...  My book of lists - have lists.  I will sleep -- later. 

I will say, the Girl's group sleep over went over without a hitch!  I got to see Frozen -- cute Disney movie cannot get what ALL the fuss is about - but hey.

Today at work is the pot luck to-do -- we have to share with the big wigs upstairs -- because we're here in our new non-nondescript office building in Northern VA, instead of there in our previous non-nondescript office building in Northern VA.  I was going to just do jarred dip and chips but bagged the whole Costco on Saturday idea with the extra 40 minutes driving to and from in favor of adding to my current shopping list of 4 items at the local store, bringing the grand total to 8 and got the heck home.   So, yes, in typical me fashion I over achieved on the pot luck and brought my usual Buffalo Chicken dip.   Knowing full well I will have to make it again for New Years for the 'nephew".  Frankly it's not that freaking hard... the dog loves when I shred chicken..

All right -- off enjoy the peaceful part of my day... working for a living. 

And did I mention the Christmas cards??!??  No he didn't sign a one either.

Whatever...
