MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A TO-DO LIST UPDATE

It's Christmas Eve. We've crossed off what there is to cross off and as for the rest, well there's always next year. As glad as I am to have another holiday with my little family and to see how much fun Lia is having, I'm glad today is over and Christmas will be here soon. I baked way too much today, melted a utensil on the stove, was covered in flour and Lia's chewed up gingerbread men cookies and my contacts felt like they were melted to my eyeballs.


Now, after I finish a load of laundry and blow dry & straighten my hair, I can go to bed. Whew.
