Christmas Eve...in the morning

Christmas being on Saturday means our office is closed today for our paid holiday. Gosh, I love having a government job!

Today's to-do list:

• Take the dogglies to get frou-froued by the groomer
  
• Take the empty tubs which held the Christmas decorations out to the garage
  
• Finish cleaning up the living room


• Make two pans of enchiladas -- one beef, one chicken
  
• Make dip and a tray of crudite
  
• Finish the laundry
  
• Iron and starch the table linens
  OR
  
• Brave the crowds at the evil place (aka WalMart) and buy new seasonal napkins and maybe a new tablecloth -- also dish towels
  
• Finish cleaning the front bathroom
  
• Practice the song
  
• Serenade the LJ gang

All the presents are bought and wrapped. Mom's invited us over this evening for hors d'oeuvres and drinks -- not nearly as fancy as it sounds. I probably ought to make a little snack tray to take with us.

Now I must get dressed and take the critters to the groomer. It's Chloe's first grooming -- yes, they've been warned. She's such a wiggleworm. This should be interesting.

A Christmas carol, just for you

As usual, I blame all voice quality issues on the inadequacies of telephone transmission. :-)



Merry Christmas, and may all your dreams come true in the New Year.
