the week in review
well folks, it's gonna be about one more week of this, and then i'll be back to my regularly scheduled 4 posts a week (i don't know if you ever noticed, but that's what my goal has always been). man-o-man; there'll be a lot of baking next saturday night!!!! things are moving right along at quite a clip, but i'm only about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way there, and i HAVE TO have everything in the mail by next tuesday, if'n it's gonna make it eastside in time...
anyway, let me present the week in review:
i got my christmas decorating on last week!!!
my little tree...i've had it for 3 years now. i've been trying to make one more little "set" of ornaments each year. this year i made those beaded snowflakes from my last entry. last year i made a little "village" out of chipboard with glassine windows. however, potterland has grown to the point that i had nowhere to go with all of the buildings. i scattered what i could around the rest of the living room, and decided the castle would be my "village" this year, so it's a hogwarts kinda christmas
i even knit myself a christmas stocking this year! it went so much faster than regular sox! it only took about 2 maybe 2 1/2 hours!!
sean came over on friday night
and we watched santa claus is coming to town
i wicked love thoes old christmas claymation-type specials!!! we also watched rudolph the red nosed reindeer which sean gave to me on vhs many, many moons ago...
i went to a baby shower for the lovely lady in the middle(even though she does so not look preggers in this pict...
there was lots-o-action!!!
it's kinda neat to have little kids running around; especially when you know you can play with'em, get'em ALL WORKED UP, and then send them home with their parents!!! WORD OF WARNING TO YOU RACHEL!!!
the baby in this picture is adorable, no doubt, but it is NOT the baby for whom all these
presents are meant(the pile was actually just starting at this point).
there were lots of folks there; the usual cast of characters, and a few suprises as well!
the guy standing next to isaac happens to be one of a handful of people whom i actually like from my high school. alan and his wife moved here from boston about a year ago, and i ran into them with rachel last friday night(alan's wife is best friends with rachel's sister). talk about a small world!
regulars here boy!
all truly classy parties have an awesome outdoor fireplace!!!!
the nutcracker ballet has started
the symphony has their trees up
and my neighbor has their own christmas display...i think this means it's time to haul over the hill (between the castro and noe valley) to check out tom and jerry's display for this year!!! (i will DEF INATELY put up the picts from that adventure) also-also; on december 17th, at approximate 4:20PM i wanna go christmas sliding over at the sewell street slides! there's bound to be libations and fresh cardboard boxes brought with!!! lemme know if'n you wanna go!!!!

it's snowing a wicked lot here in the boston area. sitting in a 'mimi'-knit wool body sock with a beer in front of that outdoor fireplace would be really sweet right now!
