Dear Diary

I got ALL the holiday sopping done for everyone yesterday. AND. I got the grocery shopping for the month done. AND. I got all the bills paid for the month. Of course the whole time Mother is complaining about how she should be at home baking cookies. One day lady, one day out of the entire month is all I asked for to get all this crap done. She

It's pretty good, you might like it. :)

That's a lot you got done, no wonder you're exhausted. I hope you can plan some down-time too!

[darkest_diary]

I might be able to get some down time on Thursday. I got this international school thing to go to at my daughters school where everyone brings dishes from their perspective countries, as she goes to an international school, Of course we have nothing spectacular to bring, just bringing candied yams, I figured that sounds American enough. :D

What do YOU want for Christmas? (And don't give some hokey answer, like "world peace"--it should be something vulgarly, ostentatiously materialistic. ;) )

[darkest_diary]

I'm getting it, I asked for one of those cool little Dremel tools, The personally helped my mother pick it out so she could wrap it up and give it to me! I love me some tools to fix things up, and carve things and do things with. lol

[blue_aardvark]

That is really cool. I hope you'll post pics of your projects.

[darkest_diary]

I hope to, I did some wood burning awhile back on a bird house to see how it would look, I want to get some pictures of that one and put it up, as I think it came out pretty well. :)

A busy day for you!

(I love bark but have never tried making any sort of candy).

I'm glad for you that your shopping is done and hope you will have happy Ashley and Brandon on Christmas morning.

[darkest_diary]

The bark didn't come out at all well, she is going to try for a second batch later on, lol

I think candy would be difficult to make.

[froganon]

I think candy can be fussy because of the double boiling and the temperature thing. So I don't make it. I just eat it!

[darkest_diary]

Haha, yeah, I tried to make a batch it came out a little better, but not much! Maybe one day it will get figured out around here. lol

I want to get these dogs washed so bad, I envy you!
It is just so cold to take them to the do it yourself doggy wash. Just can't do it in our one bathtub here, I would clog up the drain they have so much hair, LOL!

[darkest_diary]

I did the tub thing, but both dogs are small. I really want to get one of those Utility sinks, and replace the sink in the downstairs bathroom, it would be useful in so many ways.

[kaishin108]

I want a sink like that in our garage! I had one at our house in Calif and it worked out so well.

Small dogs you can get away with that :-)

[darkest_diary]

I had one in this place I used to live, it was so useful!
