A list of some stuff
Not too many days left till Christmas, folks. Have you shopped? We have. We've wrapped, too. This is very uncharacteristic of us. I generally end up wrapping everything after the kids finally go to sleep at midnight on Christmas Eve. And Lord help us all if something has to be assembled.
So this is a banner year at Casa Good Soil.
Here are some random things I need to tell you:
1. A good many of the Christmas decorations are still in the attic. We have a tree and stockings up. But no tree topper. No wreath. No santas. I do have a fleece blanket from Target that has penguins on it out in the living room. I got it in a white elephant exchange a few years back. I'm not sure when it becomes pointless to get the decorations out, but I have hope that it is sometime AFTER December 20.
2. I'm hosting Christmas dinner. However, I have yet to determine a) the menu, b) the guest list, and c) whether we will eat it on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. Yeah. I'll get on that.
3. I think I broke my toe. That has nothing to do with anything, except that I need to tell you about it. It doesn't hurt as much as it did, but it does hurt. Particularly when I bump it into something. Then my eyes water and I think of cuss words.
4. Clementine Cuties are available in the grocery store.
5. Ordering doors off of the internet is not a great idea. I need two pocket doors for my pantries, but shipping is more than the doors. So I have to go to a real store. I hate that.
6. It's in the 70's here. Day before yesterday the public schools were closed because of the ice on the roads. It's going to be in the teens on Sunday. Welcome to Texas.
7. Classical Writing rocks.
8. Leftover pot roast and mashed potatoes on sourdough bread is an excellent sandwich.
9. My husband is teaching my children about classic rock. As in Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Clapton, etc. Luke can play Back in Black on his guitar. We may be banned from homeschooling.
10. I *heart* toddler tummies.
11. A giggling 8 year old is the best sound of the season.

Thanks for the update. Merry Christmas!
Pocket doors. I *heart* pocket doors. They're worth going into a store for. My next home (or, the one in my head, anyway) will have five or six times more pocket doors than this one! LOL!
Clementines. The anit-scurvy of winter - smiles and vitamin C, all in one cute little ball!
You said it, sister! The pocket doors are SO important to me it's a little insane. The kitchen affects the laundry room, but we're leaving that be till we're done in the kitchen. But the FIRST thing to happen in the laundry room is a pocket door.
Yes, the company in exile will be excellent!
And I agree. Toddler tummies are so sweet! I'm loving baby ones, too, at the moment.
