If you’re wondering where your holiday card is, it’s right here because I’m supposed to be writing them right now, but instead, here I am on my blog. Oh well! I’m not excited about this year’s cards because Adam was in charge of proofreading and I should know better than to let an MBA proofread; MBAs think “attriting” is a real word and that they can “talk around issues.” So, yes, there’s a typo on the card and it’s way too late for me to put in an asterisks that reads, “Proofread by Adam.” <\/p>\n
Life has felt busy lately so I’m just now starting on my holiday baking and I have to say, I’m most excited by the– Oops! I think some of the people I give my goodies to are reading this blog so I won’t spill this year’s concoctions. <\/p>\n
Hanukkah so far has been fun, but it’s a bit overwhelming for the kids who have too much sugar, not enough sleep, and total present overload. I’ve made and eaten more latkes than anyone has a right to. I made them Friday in Doodles’s class, Friday night for our Hanukkah\/Shabbat dinner, Sunday for our annual Hanukkah party, and Monday in Pie’s class. I’m oozing oil out of my pores and it’s downright gross. I’m actually craving vegetables. Of course, as the family cook, I could make vegetables, but that seems like actual work so I’ll stick with the oily foods for now. And the sugar. Can’t forget the sugar.<\/p>\n
My holiday shopping has been done for a while now, except that my local B. Dalton’s is going out of business so I’ve spent two days now scouring its racks for 40% off books (plus my B&N; membership discount). I’ve got presents for the kids for the next three years (seriously–Beetle was in the store with me, and as her kids are 6 and 9, she showed me books Doodles and Pie will like in a couple of years).<\/p>\n
I’m off now to get my son, then my daughter, and then off for a coveted H1N1 flu shot for the little one (the big one got his in school). And if I were you, I’d be seriously hoping your one my goodie list. Because these things look pretty good!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
