Hi, good morning. I have the day off today but we are celebrating Christmas tonight with my family and I'm a damn mess. Truthfully it's my own fault because I have spent the past three days under a blanket reading a very sciencey, nonfiction book that is about 500 pages long. It's been so interesting I haven't wanted to put it down. But I'm absolutely not ready for anything. So today I'm up for the 15 minute challenge and if anyone wants to join me to keep their momentum going, please do. I'm going to finish up my last cup of coffee. It's 8 am now. At 8:30 I will wash my dishes. (My cleaning lady is coming today but I don't know what time and I like to have things neat for her.) What book are you reading it sounds intriguing? How not to diet by Dr. Greger. He's going over the half million diet/nutrition studies. |

Ok gifts tagged
Thought we might have a leak in our sprinklers and just discovered it’s under our driveway. No idea how that will get fixed but nothing we can do today. 2024 is going to be off to a great start fixing that and hopefully replacing our water softener and water filter. This just took a lot of my energy snd now I really don’t feel like doing much.

I've made peanut butter fusge
Unloaded and loaded dishwasher
Started another load of laundry.
I need to organize the chaos in NY living room for pictures, clean off kitchen counters (just to make a mess again as I am making holiday treats for my mom ad a gift), put clothes away in my room and vacuum my room. Then run roomba and clean the fridge.
Luckily I am not hosting this year, but I do have to run karaoke tonight

I think I have seen water there but it was at a seam and didn’t think much if it. Figured water pools there so takes longer to dry. I just hope it’s not too big of an ordeal to fix but I’m not too hopeful right now. Nothing we can do now snd the sprinklers won’t be going on again until it’s fixed. |

Gifts are tagged - took longer than I thought it would.
Stocking stuffers organized and found as I did the annual where is such and such happens every year since I hide them
Found a few more packages to wrap. Still need to wrap one more but hubby came back downstairs so will wait until he goes upstairs.
Tossed a poinsettia that I killed. Oops. Replacing it with a fake. I can never keep them alive I don’t know why I even bother.
We aren’t hosting but want to tidy up a bit more today.

Counter done-ish...can't seem to find my wipes (maybe the kids were cleaning...hahahaha) Now I'm sidetracked and cleaning under the sinks That sounds like me, start something and then it leads to a multiple other projects. If you give a mouse of cookie … I hope you find your wipes. This reminds me I want to work in the garage, my son reorganized stuff and now I can’t find stuff which is so frustrating. Stuff that’s been in the same place for years is now in a completely different place that he thought fit better but then most of the time he has no idea where he put it - seriously 😳 so freakin frustrating. If you move stuff you better know where you put it. |

I don't know that my stuff will be "15 min"; but I'm in... I have SO MUCH to wrap! I hate wrapping. The kids know what some of the gifts are so I might just tie a bow on a few thing rather than wrap them.
I have a friend coming over in a bit to do some lasering for her.
I have 2 gift card holders I made the other day and I want to laser a design on them. I'll do that after my friends projects.
I want to put "wooden spoon survivor" on a few wooden spoons for my siblings with the laser.
Then... wrap wrap wrap.
MIL called- they're sick so they're not coming tomorrow. All good- they'll come later in the week. I don't want to get crud, just getting over it right now.

I am trying to use up some paper we inherited a few years ago plus a few rolls I bought. I used up 4 rolls this year . I am switching to gift bags when this is gone and I use them for some gifts. We have a few large felt bags with drawstrings that are awesome for larger gifts. I’m lucky my husband will wrap if I ask. I do most but will ask him to wrap a few. |

Got rid of a controller for a few light switches that has never really worked but has been hooked up for 9.5 years. Seriously why was it still hooked up and plugged in 😂. Rearranged decorations on that bookcase.

I just went through a bunch of paperwork and had my son empty out my apron drawer well there were a lot of kitchen towels that had fallen behind stuff and landed behind this drawer. It was like a clown car he pulled out more than 8 towels and one if those monthly coupon advertisement booklets. We were both laughing as he kept pulling more snd more stuff out I thought sone if the towels were left from the previous owner but they were in between some of ours so they just have been gifts and are being donated. I’m washing some maybe but think I like the ones I have now better so they may land in the donate box as well. I am also donating a few aprons. The drawer still needs sone tidying but it’s so much better as I also moved a few that my grandma made but I don’t use into another drawer.
I am also running out of steam but feel I have made progress.

Lasered the thumping stick
Added design to one side of the wood gift card holder- will do the other 3 sides (other side of this one and both sides of another) tomorrow
Made 4 stickers for my friend
Discovered that I didn’t get vinegar and baking soda for my nephews present so I had to brave Costco. There was ONE person in line in front of me!
Since I was going to town 45 min away, DH had me grab bread flour and stop by his moms to get the pie and kids presents. They’re sick and won’t be coming tomorrow. I porch pick up’d because I just had the crud and don’t want to be sick again.
I got my kids presents wrapped mostly.

Your projects sound like fun I hope you post them in the monthly craft thread. I haven’t checked it lately but need to. I love seeing everyone’s projects. |
