These weeks before Christmas always take a toll on me. You too? Most likely.
Because in all the holly-jollyness there are about a million things to do. Food to buy, gifts to wrap, crafts to make. Last night I crafted up a storm. Today I’ve got to fill empty cupboards and pick up a few last gifts {yuck…that means a trip to Wal-Mart.} Honestly, I feel like my house is in a constant state of chaos lately.
The upside is that it is frightfully cold outside. Which means that the thought of being outside is not too appealing at the moment. But we still have to go out to shovel.
It’s 10:30 a.m. and it’s -3 degrees outside. The windchill makes it more like -7. Oh. My. Goodness. But you know what? It’s beautiful. I love it here. Even though it’s cold. {Really cold. Nostrils sticking together cold.} I really do love it. I love the people. My house. The community. I’m quite smitten with North Dakota, Practically Canada. And I’m quite smitten with warm mittens too.
{We’ll see how I feel about this cold after it’s been below zero for a few months…}
See you tomorrow. Get excited…I’ll be showing you the latest progress in the living room. A super awesome solution for our cords and media equipment. And later…printable gift tags just in time for wrapping madness.
