Friday Fill-Ins #204

Today's the last Friday you get a choice of the regular fill-ins OR a different kind of fill-in (or both). As you know, a friend emailed me a list where you have to identify Christmas songs by the initials of the first words of the first line of each song. If you'd like to play along, great! And...Merry Christmas eve to those who celebrate it!

So...here we go!

1. These are a few of my favorite new traditions: Christmas Eve dinner with Kevin and Kathy, Christmas Dinner with Jeannie and Pat and opening presents on Christmas Eve with SF.

2. We like to have chili for Christmas, quite a non-traditional holiday dinner.

3. What's that I hear that someone in my immediate family now wants me to knit hats and scarves for them  What a pleasant surprise.

4. A house on Christmas Day without kids is quiet, quiet.

5. Some of my favorite holiday memories include coming home after Christmas Eve Mass one year to find all of our presents in green garbage bags with labels on them.

6. Our house has been so quiet this week we didn't hear a peep from anyone, not even a mouse.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to a quiet evening with SF and bed early, tomorrow my plans include dinner with Pat and Jeannie and Sunday, I want to chill out and relax!

So, did you miss me?

Okay, as you may have noticed I have been a bit reclusive as of late.  It hasn't been because I have nothing to share.  Quite the contrary.  I have been super busy at work and most nights I barely have the energy to fix myself some dinner before I crash.  While this is not all bad, it has consumed all of my energy for the last few weeks.  Even my knitting has suffered.  So, I sat down and had a chat with myself.  Starting TODAY I will be making sure that I set aside time for myself again.  Time to catch up on Ravelry.  Time to "visit" FaceBook.  Time to knit.  Time to go to Panera on Monday to see the Clack gang.  And time to catch up on all my friends blogs.  I have a lot to catch up with, so bear with me if I comment on your old posts.

That is all for now....off to get this place cleaned up and get ready to see CLACK peeps!

Friday Fill-Ins #204

This week, I'm going to give you a choice of fill-ins OR a different kind of fill-in (or both). A friend emailed me a list where you have to identify Christmas songs by the initials of the first words of the first line of each song. Each Friday until Christmas Eve I'll post 9 more of these songs and if you'd like to play along, great!

So...here we go!

1. What in the world is wrong with me.  I seem to have lost my knitting mojo, or at least misplaced it.  If you see it, please return post haste.

2. SF has been on a mission this week to keep me well fed.

3. Go Pearland Oilers!  You can beat the other team Saturday.

4. ISE9 scarf sent to secret spoilee with other goodies.

5. I keep avoiding the radio channel that is playing only Christmas songs for some unknown reason.

6. I will make a trifle for Christmas, or not.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to quality snuggle time with SF before she goes on her trip, tomorrow my plans include last minute house cleaning and knitting with the CLACK peeps and Sunday, I want to get my Christmas cards finished so I can get them in the mail Monday!
