Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas
Yes, there are Christmas decorations up all around. I seriously considered putting my tree up before I left but I'm a bit worried that the cats will make a mess while I'm gone. Maybe I'll try to get it up with the lights only. I did get out some of my other Christmas decorations today which is fun. I usually do my decorating the weekend of Thanksgiving but I will be gone that weekend. As much as I'm excited about going home I will miss have 4 days to get stuff done. Oh well. I also made cookies today. Sort of. I was invited to a cookie exchange party (yes I am fully aware that I don't NEED 6 dozen cookies) that I really want to go to, just to see people and to get out. But I get home from late Monday night (as in close to midnight late) and have to work the next morning. Ugg. Then the cookie exchange party is Wednesday evening. Which sort of left me Tuesday after work to make 6 dozen cookies. So today I made the cookie dough for my molasses sugar cookie, rolled it all out in the balls I'm supposed to have and stuck them in the freezer. Once frozen I put them in baggies and when I come home Tuesday after work I'll start baking them. Hopefully they shouldn't take too long to bake. Yes, I'm probably crazy. Otherwise I haven't done much this weekend. I did laundry. And I got a new hidden object computer game which has mostly consumed me today. I did work out though so I don't feel too bad about it. I also only had two small cookies. And maybe a little bit of cookie dough. Which doesn't count since it's not really a cookie yet. Sometime in the next 2 days I really need to pack too since I'm leaving soon. Yay, it's almost Turkey day!!!!

Wow! You are going to be BUSY! Sounds like fun, though! : )
Yay for decorations.
I hope you have a really good, relaxing Thanksgiving. :)
Now I have to go find some cookies...
I don't need six dozen cookies either, but I've always thought a cookie party sounded fun.
I am planning on putting up our Christmas tree this weekend, but I need to go through the lights and find which ones work. One of my kitties is a chewer and I'm afraid some Christmas we'll have a National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation situation on our hands. If you know what I mean.
I definitely envy your ability and desire to decorate so early for Christmas. Last year we literally waited until 2 days before Christmas to put up the tree and took it down 2 days later. Sigh...
The cookie exchange sounds yummy and fun! :) Enjoy!
I LOVE cookie dough :)
Sounds like a busy time! I'm obsessed with hidden object games too...I spend far too much time playing them!
Enjoy your visit with your family.
