I have more lists going through my mind than I can keep up with, but I haven't written any of them down so I can't really tell you just how many there are.There are only a few days until The Grinch swoops down from his mountaintop cave to steal our festivities and leave us singing in the snow, so I don't have much time left to prepare.
It will be a wild and crazy week from here to next Monday. Even if I never nail down menus or find the house immaculately clean and tidy, we will not likely starve or find ourselves lost amidst the clutter. Okay, maybe we could get lost in the clutter, but we won't go hungry. Instead we'll laugh, enjoy the company, and be crazy together. Is there any other way to be?(Photos courtesy of Lukie's sixth birthday party Saturday evening.)
I gave my boyfriend a scattered list this am...
ReplyDeleteI was pleasantly surprised when he returned with EVERYTHING on the list!
I know what you mean....my mind jumps from item to item....but....at the end of the day....all will be well!
Cheers!
Linda :o)
My mind won't stay put for a second!
DeleteLinda, your boyfriend's a keeper! I don't think I've ever given a shopping list to the mister and had him come home with everything on the list! haha.
DeleteMine would come home with my list and his own. His would include potato chips or something I typically never buy and some kind of fruit, probably grapefruit because I don't buy those either.
DeleteLove chips!
DeleteLove handles is more like it!
Deleteha ha!
Haha!
DeleteEverything usually turns out just fine in the end!
ReplyDeleteI'm a list maker, too....can't function or stay focused if I don't write it all down! And there's some kind of satisfaction in crossing things off the list. I know..I'm weird like that. haha.
I typically make the list in my head, or stash it there after I've written it down and then immediately lose or misplace it. I rarely ever take lists out to the store with me and consequently almost always arrive home missing something. I know... I'm weird like that.
DeleteI must say....I was surprised that he got everything! He usually picks up the wrong thing!
DeleteAwwwww...gotta love him!
Shortbreads done.....
Another thing off the list......
I'm working on the menu. Bethany suggested appetizer, snacky type foods that can be eaten as people come and go rather than a sit-down type of meal on Sunday. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea.
DeleteYou have such a large family....
DeleteMight be a good idea....
I've never sent my dearest to the store with a list...it's not that I don't trust him...yes, that's it.... I don't trust him in a grocery store. This year, all I have to do is desserts, and that's just fine with me. A chocolate cake, a Pecan Coconut cake and a pumpkin pie...and of course the toffee.
ReplyDeleteWanda, you are funny. I wonder what Pastor Don might come home with. Maybe you should try it, just for fun.
