The weekend wrap-up

[agt_spooky]

OMG you guys, I was SO PRODUCTIVE this weekend! And it pretty much all had to do with Christmas. I was wiped out by last night but look at what I accomplished:

• Got up early Saturday morning, ate, showered, got dressed and headed off to the mall. I had two gifts I needed, for my good friends at work. It was FREEZING out. Was only 7 degrees, but the sun was shining. Got to the mall 15 minutes after they opened and the place was practically deserted. I hit Macy's, Kohl's and Carson's in just over an hour. Got gifts for my friends and for me and saved a TON of money with sale prices and coupons I had. I got myself a new Columbia 3-in-1 winter jacket at Carson's. Regular price was $250.00. I paid $125.00. Score!

• Left the mall and went to the vitamin store to pick up some stuff for John.

• Finished at the vitamin store and went and got my hair cut and did some grocery shopping right next door to the salon.

• Got home, had lunch and sat down and did all 55 of my Christmas cards.

• Finished the cards and made some butterscotch pudding from scratch. Yum!

• Went down to the basement and found the box with my Christmas village and got that all set up, along with putting up the stockings.

• Had dinner, collapsed, watched TV and went to bed

• I knew it was going to be snowing on Sunday, which is why I did all my running around on Saturday and sure enough, we got about 3 inches yesterday. But I was still in Christmas mode, so I didn't mind. Looked really pretty out.

• I love my cats, I really do, but they are so destructive! Especially Bean. Last year she was only a few months old and too small to do anything to the Christmas tree but this year we knew she'd be climbing up it and knocking it over, so I came up with a new plan:

I made a tree out of lights and stuck it to my dining room wall! I think it turned out brilliantly and I don't have to worry about the cats destroying anything this year. :-)

• Went back down to the basement and found all of my Christmas decorations for my cubicle at work that I took in this morning and got everything put up. Looks great!

• Did laundry, had lunch, got together a garbage bag full of clothes to donate and sat down and started to read the book Divergent (since I'm curious about the movie they're filming here in Chicago) while the snow fell silently outside. Had dinner, got caught up on my email and got two great Groupon deals - one for dinner for my birthday in a few weeks and one for another glass fusion class at a local art museum.

WHEW! See, told you! VERY PRODUCTIVE. I really need a nap now, though. :-)
