Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.
I have this feeling that I am not going to make it to 100 blog entries in 2008. I could still do one per day and make it but I am not feeling that it is going to happen.
Today was a busy day in that my wife had this grand idea that we all should accompany her in the weekly shopping...on Christmas Eve...at stores that (along with grocery items) sold other items that would be purchased and given as gifts...and then that we should make cookies...to be passed out to our neighbors...tonight...oh and did I mention that I needed to head out to the dollar store to purchase some Christmas-y type tins to but said cookies in...oh and while you are out, can you go to the pet store and get some cat food...the expensive weight control kind...thanks.
Right before a late lunch/ early dinner (of homemade manicotti), the daughter spilled a full glass of milk on the floor and wall. Then the son dropped the serving spatula and the floor (and dog) got some manicotti. Shortly after that the son dropped a coffee mug when emptying the dishwasher (the mug did not survive). Then (as if that was not enough), our beloved, 11+ year old Black & Decker mixer decided to shoot some flames out and then begin smoking...
Fortunately, the wife was done mixing the dough at the time the mixer gave up the ghost. We are done with baking the chocolate chip cookies and are starting in on rolling the sugar cookies in (duh) sugar now so I think we are in for smooth sailing for the rest of the evening (which includes heading to church in about 90 minutes for a Christmas Eve service). I am also excited about the kids opening up the gifts that we picked out for them. The wife and I limited ourselves to $25 for each other so our gift exchange might not be that exciting but hey, that is not what Christmas is about, right? Have a Merry Christmas everyone!
Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
Jon
