Morning all! Well last night we managed to get a lot of the yuletide shopping done along with some Xmas purchases also. Tonight we are headed out to Inkerman, Ontario for an overnight Yule party. We will be returning home after the sunrise and a celebratory breakfast. We will then crash for a few hours before we head out the door again. It is going to be a busy and sleepless weekend.
On Sunday afternoon we pick up my Mum from the bus station to spend Xmas with us. It will be fun to all be together to celebrate again.
As you can imagine, I have tons to do before we leave tonight and not much time to get it all done! I am not sure how much time I will have for posting this weekend but will try to touch base early next week and catch you up on what transpired over the weekend of festivities. :)

Countdown to Yuletide is on!
This morning I am starting to feel the effects of a cold. I do not have time to be sick! I am starting on a regime of ColdFX and Vitamin C to see if I can stave off the worst of it.
First thing today I am going to make a realistic "Things I must do" list and work on getting duties finalized and checked off the list. The floor renovation is definitely going ahead full steam. Andre, Mike's brother, came over last night and they got the rest of the subfloor up and the majority of the laminate down in the hallway. There are only a few pieces and doorway dividers to go in now. I think the kitchen will have to wait as the laminate is not water proof. I am not going to put it in the kitchen as that will be asking for trouble! I think we will buy some of the new laminate ceramic tiles that look like high end tiles but are stick on and then you grout them with special grout mixture. It is a much more durable and cheaper solution than going with more tiles!
Without putting the kitchen in the "wood" laminate we should have enough to do the music room and our smaller bedroom... Our bungalow is being brought into this century again! :)
Now on to taking the meds and making a list!....

Getting ready for Yuletide
Wow hard to believe that it has been over a month since I last posted!
I am in the process of getting ready for the holiday season. We have two Yule celebrations, overnight vigils, to participate in and also have our own homestyle Yule celebration to get ready for. My mum is visiting for two weeks over Xmas so most of the prep must be done before December 22nd. Time to get busy!
This weekend we have a Christmas Concert to attend on the Friday night. Lindley, my 20 year old daughter, is competing in the Canadian Music Competitions this year. This Friday is their Xmas fund raiser concert and she is singing an aria for it. December 5th is our Daw Family Xmas get together before my mom-in-law leaves for a warmer climate. December 6th we are putting up our Xmas tree in the family room with hot chocolate and White Christmas playing in the background. Wow, it is beginning to get busy! Okay so time to knuckle down and get some stuff done.
I would like to do some Christmas baking tins for gifts and need to finish my Christmas Cards and Christmas gifts! I love this time of year! :) So gonna put some xmas music on the stereo and get my laundry in and pick out some recipes and get planning!
We had our first dusting of snow last night and it is getting me in a festive mood.
