Mom had to go to work soon after dinner (she’s working at Fred Meyers for the holidays to get some real experience on her resume - some places don’t like that her major experience is for a family business!), so dad and I finished eating a little longer and then followed her because mom wanted him to help pick out some gifts while it was a discount day. So I got to wander around the store with my dad for hours, it was a bunch of fun! We even picked out a candle for my mom to burn over the holidays, which meant we smelled like every candle in the store! I like spending time doing silly things with my dad.

I came home and read some blogs and then got caught up looking for eye shadow tips and playing with makeup for a bit. I rarely do things like that when E’s around. Watched some tv and read and went to bed after that.

Then I got up this morning and did some work for a while, it’s nice to get things done when it’s quiet. Watched a few movies and caught up on some other shows waiting on my TiVo (Nip/Tuck had quite a few waiting, and even a couple How I Met Your Mother). At the same time, I started cleaning more of my office. It looked like a mailbox blew up in here with so much junk mail and catalogs everywhere! It’s not perfect, but considerably better. I also attacked (!) my wreath. At our last house, it looked like this. Since then, it lost a lot of ivy. But it’s been on our door nonetheless. Last weekend, I made E take me to Michael’s and got some new greenery and ribbons and stuff to put on it. It turned out so pretty, I’m quite happy!

I made some late lunch, spaghetti with white sauce with nutmeg and parmesan cheese in it. It was something I’d been wanting to try and it turned out good. I made way more sauce than I needed, but next time maybe I’ll guess better on how much.

So even though it’s quiet with E gone, it’s been an okay somewhat productive day!
