This, That and the Other thing....

This:

So flippin' happy to have some things behind me. (besides my rear)

All Christmas cards are done and mailed. My few boxes that needed to be mailed are done.

My drilling by my wonderful dentist done. I'll get my new crown next year, but my temp looks good.

Lindsay's birthday celebration with her friends was a great success.

6 girls + lunch +minature golfing +movie = broke and tired Mama.

She had a great time though and she is worth it. How many times do you get to turn 13?

BTW, Madagascar 2 is very funny!!!

That:

The bathroom renovation.....

The electricians came, they saw, they made lots of holes.

I sure hope we have a GOOD drywall person to clean this up.

that is just a tidbit of the holes...the ceiling is much worse. :)

The Other Thing:

The cocktail party....I am almost ready for that. Ok, not really almost, but a little bit.

I don't think I will see any kids here, aside from one who has never been a bother at the party anyway. She will help Lindsay watch the dogs in the playroom.

Soon, I will be washing all my glasses (martini, wine and cocktail) Pulling out the ol' chafing dishes and setting up my serving plates....usually I already have that stuff done.

I am neurotic, I know.

I asked Lo and one of her friends to help me with the party on Saturday.

Linds pipped in that she wants to help also...Coach quickly jumped in saying she did not need to be around "all that alcohol".

Quick as can be the child looked right at ME: and said: "I am around alcohol all the time"

I did not consider wine to be alchohol...but whatever....I have ruined her. :)

We are not saving for college anyway...just therapy.

And then this morning......

You know when you try to do something on your own to save someone else time?

Even when you know you have NO business doing it yourself????
Like our leak under the kitchen sink???

I thought I would take care of it instead of waiting for my busy as heck husband.

I took care of it all right.

I made a flood and now I can't use my sink or dishwasher today....

On the brightside....the floor around the sink area is the cleanest part of the house.
