Getting There ...

I'm making progress. I have no doubt I'll get all the things finished, but I want to do it while having a little fun and enjoying some of the process AND keeping my back well. That's my challenge.

Fun yesterday was Peloton holiday rides. Today is a pedicure. My feet are a hot mess. For some reason, the polish is rubbing off my big toes. I'm taking my own color this time so I can fix any rub off. I've been lazy with lotion too and everything is dry and ugly. I'm glad for pretty toes today.

I have some holiday errands too. Stopping to order chicken pot pies for Christmas Eve and quiche for Christmas morning. This is the first year everything isn't homemade. I still am making plenty, including a fancy Christmas dinner though so I'm not sweating it. Stop at Whole Foods for the special chocolate chips (and my food/veggies). I'm only making one cookie - 7 day chocolate chip so I need to make the dough tomorrow. Kids are making their traditional holiday cookies -- brownie buckeyes. We'll have 2 desserts too -- one is GF and it's my favorite (Slush Cake).  

I started menu planning too. As always, lists relax me.

Tree is up and decorated. I put a few other things out too. I'll add some final touches before we leave for Asheville. Christmas shopping is nearing the final purchases. I have nothing wrapped, but that will wait until next week.

Slimmed down, but still pretty.


Asheville is going to be busy too. LFL is getting installed, picture wall worked on and hitting the framing store for some of my aunt's artwork. Oh, and cleaning because I couldn't last time. 

Hope you're set for a good week. I'm really, really, really happy to have vacations finished for this year. Two, week long trips over the holidays was too much (my bad). Being home on a Monday feels really good (even though we're going to Asheville this week). 

Later gators.
