It is December 23rd. The day before Christmas Eve. Which for my family, my life experience, is the mini-Christmas, the sneak-preview of sorts.
Brief (as brief as I can possibly be) recap:
Saturday: Went to Matt's house. We had fun and I can't remember what we did. The days are beginning to blend in all the hustle and bustle. I got home and went to bed. I think.
Sunday: The massive blizzard!! The one that went all the way to North Carolina, Washington D.C., and even some western states. Parts of New England got 16+ inches of snow. Incredible. Ahh, I just remembered, I did NOT go to bed right away Saturday night. I was up late doing something and when I went to sleep, it was 3 a.m. and the sky was still clear and there were no snowflakes, or even a hint that there would be some. Sunday was quiet, with the snow surrounding the house, the windows. It wasn't blustery and windy in a way that it howled outside the house. It was just such thick snow.
Monday: I was dreary feeling. Just felt blahh. Didn't do much, wasn't productive in a way I had planned.
Tuesday (oh yesterday): I was on the ball. Making up for Monday. I was up and doing chores and ready to get it all done. I went to the post office to mail the little thing for Kelsey. Upon arriving home, I ate, and started on my to-do list. It was a VERY long and detailed to-do list. I cleaned up the kitchen, I did the litterbox, I did the upstairs bathroom, and the schoolroom. I did several loads of laundry. I various lists of other things. *rolls eyes* Lists are my habit. They calm me down. I love organization. Lists are step one to organization. I went to Matt's house last night and watched him very precisely decorate about 10 cookies. I would have grabbed a knife, spread on the frosting and then have fun with the multitude of sprinkles. But he wanted detail. And they were beautiful. We watched Singin' in the Rain. I brought it over. I was in heaven. I was so happy. I think Matt liked it. And I say "think" because he told me that he did like it but I cannot truly confirm or deny this. I was just itching to sing along with the songs (and horrors, dance) but I didn't because I don't like people staring at me and dancing (if not just the singing) is enough to call attention to yourself.
Wednesday (today!): I was up early again, (ughh, I went to sleep late again too. I was making more lists. Sigh.) and showered and put away laundry and then went off to finish Christmas shopping with Grandy. We went to Golf & Ski, the mall (The Pheasant), where we went to Target, Sears, Hollister, American Eagle and Yankee Candle. We then were exhausted and famished so we went across D.W. street to the Lil' Lobster boat and she had fish chowder (ickk, no thank you!) and I had fried shrimp. Delightful. I want more now. Then we went back across to the mall, went to Target once more and then to Wal-Mart on our way back here (my home). I wrapped the rest of my gifts for everyone. I'm so thrilled. I really am.

And I'm so excited for tomorrow!

1. It's Christmas Eve day. Which means Christmas is very nearly here. 
2. It means December TWENTY-SIXTH is almost here and the holiday will be over. Honestly if there was so much stress, hustle and bustle, and rich food and desserts (!), I wouldn't be wishing it away so fast. But I know that I will be quite content to make tomorrow and Friday last as long as possible.
3. Matt is coming tomorrow. Mum said he can't come before 12 so I will be telling him to come at 1. We will give each other presents then and he is going to be here tomorrow night for dinner with my grandmother, aunt/uncle/2 cousins, that he met on Thanksgiving. They all heartily approved of him and Christmas Eve is so much cozier than Thanksgiving. 
4. We will all be cooking and cleaning and rush rush rush tomorrow. I might ask Mum if making fudge would be a good idea. 
5. Tomorrow is Mama's birthday. We will be celebrating it on January 24th, as we did last year (or does that count as this year, as it was Christmas 2008 but we celebrated her birthday in 2009? Hmmm...).
6. Tomorrow, Matt and I will have been together for 2 months. This makes me happy.

7. I am hungry! I will be going to find food now.
