Thanks­giv­ing is over.

Black Fri­day is over.

Christ­mas is here.

YEAH!

So far, we have just enjoyed the begin­ning of this sea­son. There hasn’t been a rush in putting all the dec­o­ra­tions up on the same night or rush­ing around doing this or that. We put the out­side lights up last week­end (it was just too warm not to!), I’ve got the tree in the liv­ing room up with lights but noth­ing else and the Christ­mas cards have come in. It actu­ally feels like I’ve got my act together with­out try­ing too hard. I’m even leav­ing for Cal­i­for­nia for the week­end and I’m STILL not stressed about “get­ting every­thing done in time”.

It’s a great feel­ing for a change.

I can’t help but gig­gle when I think of the guys bach­e­lor­ing it all week­end. J will be fine…the boys aren’t quite as con­fi­dent though. HA! They always end up doing fine, but I’m sure some things in my kitchen will be miss­ing. Every time I leave on a trip, I come back to less things in the kitchen…not sure how that keeps happening.

I’m head­ing out to spend some time with my grandparents…just Mum and I doing a road trip.  (This is where you don’t say, “Ah…how nice.” Instead you should fid­get a bit.) Mum and I are bit like Thelma and Louise in air­ports.  We’ll never make it through  TSA with­out SOME kind of issue.  Mum’s metal hip will be the death of us all. If not her hip, then some other pros­thetic thing-a-ma-jig.

At least I’ll have some­thing blog about!
