Holiday Busy

Okay, here I am and it’s 9:45 and I’m thinking that I won’t get to bed before 11:00 again tonight. I really hate that. I’m a creature of habit, and habit says that I am tucked into bed by 9:30-10:00 every night. I also like to just vegetate for the last hour or so that I am up, and it’s not looking like that will be happening either.

What’s keeping me up? Well, to be perfectly honest it’s the holidays. I want you to know that I wrote out and addressed over 100 Christmas cards today, and Hubby is printing out our famous Christmas letter and then I stuff the envelope, seal, stamp and put a return address label on it.

So far all my foreign cards are ready to go in the mail tomorrow. Now I just need to finish up my USA ones and I’ll be done.

So what else did I get done today? Well, I made a Sauer Braten dinner for Hubby. We both love German food and this was my old family recipe! Oh boy is it a keeper.

I worked on my laptop to finish restoring my email program, cleaned up files and helped Hubby finish up the composition of the Christmas letter.

I found out that the male dackel I’d hoped to use to breed with Anneliese is no longer available. What does this mean? It means Anneliese and I will be going to Berlin when she goes into heat and while she is getting a good German husband, I’ll be visiting my best friend, Uschi! That will be happening around February.

Tuesday is a busy day as I get myself all ready to go and see my sister. I’m getting my hair done, and some new nail polish. Then we two sisters, Mel and I, will have our pre-holiday celebration!

Wednesday, as you all know, is Weight Watcher day for me, and hopefully it will be the day I finally get to my goal.

But then, only time will tell!

  2. That is nice that you are doing a trip to CT. What day are you traveling on? What times do you think you will be driving through MA? Just wondering if we might be able to organize a brief meet up?

    M and I put up the Christmas tree yesterday, along with some lights around the house. We made a fire in the fireplace last night. It was very nice!

    Still have to talk to M about final holiday schedules. Will let you know ASAP.

    Only 2 weeks to go, and then I’m on a little vaca from work. I can’t wait!

    Love you lots,

    Mandy

  3. I was hoping to get my cards finished up a few days ago … but it hasn’t happened yet. I got half of them done and in the mail… the other half are still waiting. I’m sure you’ll make goal this week! And THEN what are ya gonna do?

  4. I did cards last night while hubby was watching the Cowboys lose. He mailed them this morning, so cheer is sent out to family and close friends.

    Will Annaliese actually be in heat when you go or will you go around the time she should be coming into estrus? That might be an experience to have a dog that is in heat on a plane. 😉

  5. It’s a long time I don’t sent any cards by snail mail anymore ! I only answer to the cards I receive and that mostly by phone because then I can tell more than in a card. What I do (as a modern woman, nah !) I sent self made email cards to my friends. I am still busy to make one with my cats, but these damned beasts won’t pose like I want, lol ! My gifts are all bought, the decoration is done (exept the tree) so I am rather cool for the moment. I don’t have to worry about Christmas supper either as we do it in Amsterdam ! How nice that you look for a german husband (I mean Anneliese !) what a nice excuse to go to Berlin !!

  6. Wow, Maribeth… 100 Christmas Cards… that makes my 50 look like nothing 😉

    I am so happy for you that you’ll be going to Germany to find a nice “husband” for Anneliese and to see your friend Uschi!! 🙂

  7. I brought my cards to work with me, hoping to have a chance to work on them, but…lol!

    Oh, a trip to Germany, how nice!

    Have fun with Mel!
