One of these days I swear you’ll get an actual post with photos.. but I’ve been entirely too busy to take pictures of anything. Yesterday was Munchkin’s last day of school for the year.. he’ll return to school on the 2nd of January 2007!  I was rather happy this morning that I didn’t have to get up and drag myself to the bus stop at 740am - even if I was still making mini-pancakes (microwave ones..) and chocolate milk at the same time as on a school day. I got to crawl back into bed for about an hour more before I awoke to the sound of the neighbors child and their new DRUM SET in the garage..  at 830am.  People, if it happens tomorrow they are going to have to get those drum sticks surgically removed.

I managed to talk myself out of all of the insane holiday knitting - so I’m now deadline free for Christmas.  I will still be finishing the fuzzy Feet and cabled hat to go into a box for sister-in-law’s late gifts being sent to South GA later in the month… but that’s a whole lot less stress. I’m also going to knit a scarf for the bus driver and give it to her after the holidays but I’ve torn out about 8 different patterns and hated all of them.

I’m really behind on replying to comments.. and I’m in the process of trying to find a better spam-bot than Akismet because I’m getting spammed to death at the rate of about 30 a day.

The order for the rest of the week here at Chez Mousie is cleaning and baking cookies. In my over-achieving mind.. it seems fine that I’m planning on making chocolate chip, white chocolate chip, mint chip, (sense a theme?.. toll house for everyone!) peanut butter, snickerdoodles, gingerbread men,  sugar cookies & dipped pretzels and graham crackers.
