Receptions and a flat tire...a good start to a Monday.

Typing on iPhone is less than easy

I am seriously considering just calling this blog "lists" and writing one daily. A theme? How novel.

Things I need to complete today

1.  Clean room.

2.  Finish loan paperwork with B.J.

3.  Write out Christmas cards.

4.  Investigate where you can buy those little padded envelopes for sending things through the mail.  (Does it have to be at the post office?)

5.  Figure out why I have a check engine light on my car.

6.  Pick up photos at Walgreens.  Purchase frame and a box of popcorn.

7.  Sync iPhone.

8. Download NIN song from brother (thanks!)

9. Wrap gifts.

10. Remember whatever it is I feel I'm forgetting.

New template

Things of note:

1.  My car got a check engine light this morning for the first time.  It's probably the gas cap.

2.  Having recent photos makes shopping for grandparents much easier.

3.  I have Wednesday and Thursday off this week.  I like floating holidays.

4.  My dog is chasing spots of light.  She's funny.

5.  I actually kind of enjoyed the Twilight movie.  I now am going to go read something cerebral to make up for it.

Also, new template.

It is now ten days til Christmas.  This year seems anticlimactic.  We don't have a Christmas tree up.  The advent calendar is still somewhere in the basement.  Christmas shopping is mostly done, thanks to free shipping from Amazon.  We're not even playing Christmas music.

Maybe the lack of spirit is due to the fact that for the first time, there's no two week long break at the end of a winter semester.  Maybe everyone in my household is exceptionally busy this year.  Maybe we're too old.

Just interesting.
