Other than knitting...
This week has yielded the lowest knitting volume since I started blogging about it this summer. I've knit maybe half a dozen rounds on the Wildfoote sock, and got down to the cuff on Lochinver. And there they sit...
So let's look at some lists:
In the Kitchen
Thumbprint Cookies
Swedish Pepparkakor (authentic family recipe)
Peanut Butter Balls (kids' favorite)
Green Bean Casserole for Christmas dinner (not the one with the french fried onions)
Swedish Rye Bread (authentic family recipe)
(...hmmm, did I mention that I'm of Swedish descent?)
Household Chores
A big general housecleaning
Wrap gifts
Pay bills, filing, etc.
Shopping
One more gift, for my sister's family
Regular grocery shopping
Novelty napkins, etc. for Christmas dinner
Work
Website update
Thank-you letters to workshop speakers
Quickbooks update
A couple of convention planning tasks
Tidy up basement office (oh, that should only take a week or two)
Of course, my busy week wouldn't be complete without the proverbial monkey wrench. That would be that my daughter is home sick today. :(

The peanut butter balls and the green bean casserole sound really yummy, yummy, yummy.
Have a very Merry Christmas

Sorry about the monkey wrench, and especially about the poor little monkey. Our daughter specialized, for many years, in dropping JUST before Christmas. I can't count the Christmas programs any more where I delivered her to the stage just in time to play her violin solo and then swept the poor thing to bed until Christmas morning... Hope your daughter is better soon AND that it doesn't spread!
