One more day at work
Until vacation! Yea! I'm taking Friday off, and M-W next week, then Mon and my birthday off. I'm working a little next week to stock up days off for future vacations. I'm ready for a break. Feeling a little burned out on computer work/data processing.. although I'm learning to program in python and run automated scripts to do a lot of the repetitive data processing steps, but it will be a while before I'm very proficient at it. J at work is really good at it though and is teaching me.
We're having a partyopen house on Saturday, so I'm going to spend most of time on Friday cooking- I haven't made any cookies yet this year. Not sure what our turnout will be as a lot of people will be out of town, and the weather isn't supposed to be great so some people might not to drive but we will see I guess. We'll at least have A's family, and they can walk over if they want. I actually got all my packages and cards out last week (due to the gift of 2 snow days!) and finished up the last bit of christmas shopping tonight (I was totally stumped on A's dad and brother, so they're getting smartwool socks. kinda boring, but they make great socks, so at least it's a functional gift and something they wouldn't spend money on themselves). With all the errands done (besides food and drink shopping and prep!) I'm feeling pretty relaxed and exctied for the next week. I've even wrapped everything and stashed it all under our tree, which looks great in our living room. The open house has been a good motivator to work on the house and get the basement looking better too. There were piles of boxes I hadn't touched since we moved in that are now at least cleaned up or stashed in a closet. A's getting cross-country skiis for christmas (which aren't under the tree yet as he'd immediately guess what they were). I just hope we get more snow this winter so he can use them. We got 6 inches last weekend and I skiied right out our door down the street to the trail and skiied the route I usually run. We live in a great location for skiing whenever we get snow and A's always a little bummed to see me head out to ski when it snows, so it should be fun to go together.
I wish you all could come to our party saturday... have a good weekend!
