Getting close now

Yes, that is a dog butt in the lower right corner

So on this 9-80 Friday I pretty much did nothing. I know I should be getting ready for Christmas, but I'm procrastinating. I've actually made a big dent in my list post from a few weeks ago:

• Company Party - big on obligation, small on fun
• BSO holiday concert with 2 kids
• Visit (with interview) to Stevens Institute in Hoboken
• Two hockey games in one day (one played, one viewed) in Hershey PA
• Christmas shopping, and since they closed Daedalus at Belvedere I'm going to have to figure out something new - blah
• Heading up the Adopt-a-family drive for House of Ruth at work
• Counting/sorting gifts
• Spending cash donations on un-claimed gifts
• Taking gifts to House of Ruth
• Financial Aid meeting at the High School - bailed on that one having done the online course
• Hockey Holiday party
• Some sort of birthday celebration for msk  - we did a family dinner at TGIFridays and he was OK with that
• Christmas tree and house decorations - see picture above
• Shopping for the massive holiday buffet party at our house
• Making a dish to share for work -  thinking about bailing on this as well...
• Mailing gifts to out-of-town relatives
• More harping on college essays and submitting remaining applications - on going, but down to 3 now
• Final report and submittal of 2011 Cookie sale

I thought about presents, but couldn't commit to shopping vs. Amazon. The hockey party is tomorrow. I really should get some packages mailed. It was lazy, but today I took a break. Breaks = boring posts. Sorry.
