    Default Finally Friday!

    Good Morning!

    Just getting ready to head out to work today and have planned a few errands for after work: return shopping/gifts to get $$$ back and then meet up with a friend whom I have not seen for a long while. Holiday season makes people venture out more. Once I get home, I have to tackle the clothes project and rearrange my bedroom configuration to accomodate my new to me 27" tv!! This will save me having to spend just shy of $100 for 13" or a 20" no name tv. After that I need to inventory all the gifts I have purchased and start grouping and wrapping them.

    What do you have planned for the last Friday before December?

    I'm preparing for a yard sale. Several neighbors are having one tommorrow, the more the merrier. Will be hitting all the closets, cabinets and garage. Have way too much stuff to hold on to anymore. Hoping for a good turn out as I've posted it on our local Share Site.
    DH is taking me to dinner tonight on a carrbba's gift cad that he got for some work he did for them. Then we'll hit the hay early for a busy day tommorrow. Our yard sales usually average between 200 and 300 but thats cause we have so much from the homes we've cleaned out.

    I have a busy day planned at work, then I need to come home and pay rent. Ive been keeping up on housework all week, so It will only need a lil pickin up. Ive also been cooking freezer meals all week, and I baked a cake last night, so no cooking for me! So after a long day at work it should be a relaxing night at home.

    I am so glad Friday is here!! Only one more week of classes, then finals week and I am DONE for a month

    I had my 8am class, then went to the commissary and the credit union. Came home & put away groceries, started some laundry & let the dogs out. Now I'm about to head out to my lab. After which I'll pick up the kids, then it's homework, dinner, baths, & bed.

    Dinner & baths for kids followed by:
    * Keeping up on the kitchen cleaning (amazing how much less I dislike it when it's clean!)
    * Wrapping kids' Christmas presents.
    * Reading for a work study group.
    * Online shopping for my mom.
    * Laundry (does it ever end?!?!?!)
