Quickie

3 things I loved about this weekend.  (material things)
1.  Peppermint Mochas.  It was worth the  wait.  I was the fifth car in line on a Saturday morning at Starbucks that is located right next to a Target, Kohl’s, Best Buy, etc.  I hope the 7 cars in back of me felt the same way.  (seriously!)
2.  This new wrapping paper cutting device thingy.  It’s awesome.  I never use scissors when I wrap gifts, I only use knives, this works out perfectly.   (Yes!  I started my Christmas wrapping this weekend!  YAY!)
3.  Wintersong by Sarah McLachlan.  It’s lovely.

3 things I did not love about this weekend.
1.  The 3 inch burn on my forearm that I received while ironing my pants on the floor this morning at 7:45am getting ready for church.  Hurts like a sonofabitch.
2.   Kinkos.  They printed & cut the Christmas cards I designed.  I brought them home and was stuffing envelopes when I realized just how poorly they cut them.  However,  I called them today and they reprinted them for free, without question and they look great.  I just hated the extra driving.  (and I did use alot of poorly cut ones, I had already sealed my envelopes when I decided to call and complain.)
3.  I didn’t love not making cookies.  I had wanted to try 3 new cookie recipes this weekend.  I have three, yes three, cookie exchanges in the next 9 days.  I only tried one new recipe and it was boring.
4.  I know, I said 3. Racecar has a cold. Ariel has a sty under her eye.

Oh!  I did love witnessing the birth of my friend’s son on Thursday night.  It was not only beautiful, but so much fun!  I had dinner with friends and went straight to the hospital, she progressed famously and had the baby 2 hours after I got there!  I was sure I was in for a long night.  He was 7 lbs 15.5 oz.  20.5 inches long.  He’s simply perfect.

I like quickies.
