1. Outside lights put up on coldest Sunday of the winter. Heaven forbid, that we should have done it when the temperature was above freezing. What is the fun in that?

2. Christmas Baking ordered from two woman who know how to bake. I look on it as supporting fellow female entrepreneurs

3. Fresh Turkey ready to be picked up and yes, I’ll cook that myself.

4. Christmas Tree decorated except for the bottom one third, knowing nods from all cat owners

5. Airline ticket for mother-in-law bought. It’s ok, I love my mother-in-law.

6. Christmas gifts purchased on-line. That was a no-brainer, there were two choices; list in hand, sitting at desk with sippers on sipping coffee vs list in hand, overcrowded mall, winter coat, heat exhaustion.

Realization that the spot on the dining room table where my laptop & paperwork sits will have to be replaced by an actual place setting, well I’m working on that.
