I woke up fairly early and so instead of lazing like I usually do (Really should have since I won’t have a chance to again for a while… darned holiday doesn’t give me this pleasure as we are going to inlaws and like I can REALLY laze on Christmas day??) I actually pulled my sorry self out of bed and I took a shower and went downstairs (quick stop to tell the children to finish cleaning their room) and checked out the process of a DVD we were working on. Then I actually straitened up a bit and did the dishes and cleaned up around the front door. The house actually looked nice for when everyone came downstairs.

Then I returned a blockbuster DVD for elfmyst and stopped at her house. Her nieghbour is a mechanic and he fixed our Taurus. It needed a new Serpentine belt. OK, this was going to cost me fifty bucks for the part and fifty bucks labour at the shops. It cost me under 20 from Auto Zone. He put it in and only charged me 30 bucks. Excellent.

While at elfmyst ‘s house, I super swept her kitchen. Gave it a really long and good sweep. Whew… dust and dirt everywhere. Her dogs track in a LOT of dirt. Then I cleaned up her entertainment center, entryway, and the living room. Everything but vacuuming. It felt good to be industrious.

I came home and the house here was still pretty good so I went upstairs and watched Tru Calling and put away the last of our laundry. including Sir Megabyte’s stuff. I got everything but something like 9 shirts. I ran out of coat hangers. But I told him and told him if he pulled out what he didn’t want/didn’t fit that we would probably be able to hang up the last of his shirts. Hopefully he will do that this week. So I put the shirts in a basket under his hanging clothes. My bedroom is now all clean and nice. Just needs a good vacuuming!

I wrote up my Christmas cards. Then I made supper and now I’m just relaxing. Very busy today but my house is nice and I feel good about my hard work.

Now I’m watching National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. I think I’ll watch number 2 next. 🙂
