The Night Before Christmas

So I woke up at 5 am and loaded up the Subaru sleigh and was on the road by 5:30 am ET. Two things made this possible: Diet Mt. Dew and Kiehl's Eye Alert cream. I was actually able to drive 70 MPH an hour the whole way down basically with out all the traffic back-ups that normally occur. I'm still a little tired but I would rather be tired then deal with gridlock.
I managed to complete 6 loads of laundry for myself and the rest of the family. I also baked a pan of Trader Joe's cornbread for my mom and hauled my sister around town so that she could finish some last minute Christmas shopping.
I am also excited because my beloved Fossil watch is out of the shop. It only cost $35 to fix it which was still cheaper than buying a new Fossil watch. It stopped working in September and I couldn't find any places in town that could fix it so I sent it home with my sister over Thanksgiving to take it to the local watch shop in Oklahoma and he put in a new battery and a couple of parts and it is good as new.
I haven't crocheted anything today but I do have enough Homespun with me to make a prayer shawl and I have enough stash yarn to make some veteran's scarves so I will probably work on those this weekend. I started downloading episodes of the original Doctor Who series this weekend so I will probably watch those while I am crocheting.

Happy Holidays!
