Happy Holidays!

Hi folks. I've been busy busy busy for the past several days, finishing things up at work, trying to clean my house before mom and dad arrived. . . I never get it quite clean enough to make me happy. For some reason, when mom cleans, my house looks *clean*. When I clean, my house looks. . . well, just slightly less dirty and cluttered. I try, I do try, but maybe it's something I won't get until I also get momhood. Oh well.

Mom and dad arrived on Sunday and we decorated my house for the holidays. My mantel is draped in a lovely boxwood garland, and I have a cute little live tree. Think the Charlie Brown Christmas Christmas tree, and you'll have a vague idea of what our little tree looks like :-)

My boy returned late Sunday night and then came up to Bloomington on Monday to spend the night with me and the folks. I was so very very happy to see him again. And to top off the joy of spending time with The Jeffrey, he and my parents got along famously. Yaaaay! After we spend Christmas Eve with our respective families, I and my parents will be driving down to Louisville to spend Christmas Day with Jeff's family. Yes, we are going to put the putative, possible future hypothetical inlaws together in the same room.

Today is a day of rest and cookie-baking, although I am going to go ahead and get dressed and head out to Victoria's secret to pick up some sexy leg dressings. Hrmmmm. . . pantyhose or hose and garters? Tough decision, but I think I'm going to be adventurous and give garters a try.

Gotta look as sexy as I feel, right? Right!

I wish you all a lovely and peaceful holiday.
