1.What do I want for Christmas? Normally when the spousal Unit says why don't you get yourself something? I snarl put in some b**** effort (or words to that effect), but this year he's so very overwhelmed by the new job, not to mention being 300km away, that I have relented and actually made the offer to be my own Santa. But I can't think of anything! I'm attracted to this, as I hear it's very dark in the country, but I dunno...maybe something frivolous? Help!
2. I want to run another marathon next year. There, I've said it. Alas, however, my sacroiliac joint didn't take all that kindly to the last one - although we've reached an understanding of sorts, I might not have it rehabbed in time to build up for the run I want to do in April (and that's if it's actually on). Ever the optimist, my Plan (of course I have one) is to press gamely on with the standing-on-one-leg/rubber band thing and hope for the best.
3. Chips are evil. Especially when J is stress-eating.
4. Noddie's dance concert was last night. It was wonderful and adorable and now I want to learn to tap dance.
5. This Friday night everything in our house that stays still long enough will be covered in tinsel. It's going to be pretty and sparkly and Christmassy to look at instead of the messy half-packed disorganisation that is starting to mess with my head.
6. A bloke at my work, who is about my age, was really surprised that I recognised his Dead Kennedys t-shirt. I clearly need a de-frumping makeover. Why don't I look as though I have an interesting life? Or maybe surprising people is good?......I dunno
7. I really really do need to stop eating. It won't pack anything.
8. The reason all my Christmas presents are bought, wrapped and labelled already is not because I'm organised. It's because I'll do pretty much anything to avoid shopping in December. I forgot I was doing prayers at church last week (see? Not organised); while I was winging it in the pulpit I believe something resembling the phrase "if I'm bad in this life, I'll end up somewhere like Northland when I die" may have passed my lips.
9. I'm going to write our Christmas letter tonight, always good fun. S0 many exciting things have happened this year!
10. I FOUND MY ADDRESS BOOK!! It's been missing for weeks! It was in the passenger side door pocket of my car - I hardly ever sit there so it didn't occur to me to look. Yay!
11. Stupid vendors' stupid solicitor is taking FOREVER to get the stupid paperwork for the stupid new house organised, so it looks as though settlement won't be until FOREVER. Thank goodness for mince pies
12. I have a job interview for J's new shop next Monday. DON'T LAUGH. I'll be driving up and back (700km round trip) for the group interview. Nervous? Moi? Why can't they just give me the job? Whatever happened to nepotism?
13. If you don't like Christmas carols, don't get into my car. Ding dong merrily on high, people!
More anon, mince pie fans...........mmmmmmm.........mince pies..........

10 much-appreciated comments:
If you want a bright top I can give you one of my old Connex safety vests. That way you can be as frivolous as you want:-)
if by chips you mean what I call fries, I agree....they are EViL
Yay for finding your address book. Bummer that my exercise log book wasn't there too... :-)
Too much fun and excitement at Cehz LBTEPA! Good luck with your interview!!
Our tree is up! Mum was a bit shirty that I put it up on the last day of November but it is time to get all cheery! And when the tree is up, it is time to eat mince pies and ohmigod I want those ones in your picture.
Mince pies are the BEST THING about Christmas (apart from receiving really cool gifts that you have chosen for yourself).
I have personally devoured about a dozen (this week) and even my two year old has discovered a love for them. Go figure. Now I have to hide them from her too.
I just ate another sugar cookie. I stole Iron Misty's idea too, but I do 7 on Saturdays. I like your blog and visit frequently, even put you on my blog tracker on my blog. Happy Holidays - tinsel and all!
Yay on finding the address book and good luck with the interview!
I think you answer your own question -- makeover and tap lessons for Christmas!!!
Christmas letters? Do you write "end of year" summaries? We do that! In fact, we have an entire box of them sealed up waiting for the boys to turn 18 when we'll go back and open all those older ones. :)
