One week and counting...

Ran many errands today--once I got up. I slept very, very, late--to my cats' disgust. I must have needed it, though, as I feel great for the first time in a couple of weeks.

Bought chocolate molds and some good chocolate. Found the Creepiest Wrapping Paper Ever. Scouted out places that carry memory foam bed toppers, as my sister-in-law wants to buy me one for Christmas. Has anyone on my flist bought one? Any recommendations?

I have finally gotten all of my cards addressed and stamped and I'll shlep them to the post office tomorrow. (tehomet , I got your card! Thanks!) Still need to mail off 2 packages but the recipients won't have spasms if they don't arrive on The Day, so I'm not in a real hurry.

I want to try making steel-cut oatmeal in a slow cooker. Anyone have a recipe they like? (One that reheats well.)

My White Elephant present was a great hit. I bought a copy of a calendar called "2011--Countdown to Armageddon" and a weird little "Grow Your Own Crop Circles" kit. They were hotly fought over. I wound up with a real Slinky!

Still debating making enameled ornaments. I may go into the Lab on Christmas eve. I may not. Still need to fix the washing machine.

Oh yeah. I still haven't heard this on the radio. Still doesn't feel like Christmas yet.
