Notes on notes, and on other things, too.

I am done done DONE with music for the year ! (mod singing on Sunday.) I am so pleased. It's not that I mind doing it, but every performance/rehearsal takes energy and time away from something else. I haven't started the holiday letter yet, much less the cards. The holiday kidpix should be available tomorrow, but I dunno if I want to brave the mall on a Saturday two days after Christmas.... The kids have started a new game that requires the desktop to play, so my computer time has been severely curtailed, but that's mostly because I haven't booted them off. (They've had the game for a while, but DB's not had time to play, between theater and band.)

Mum came out on Christmas Day for brunch (she brought a cranberry-walnut ring from Trader Joe's, I made quiche, the Meijer deli made a fruit salad). And yes, I actually went to the grocery store on Christmas Eve. At 8am, when it was no busier than it usually is on a Saturday morning.  We had planned on a ham dinner for Christmas Day, but decided it to have it today instead, as we were all full from brunch. Then SR suggested glazed carrots, and I noticed that we were out of potatoes. So I went to the grocer this morning, as well -- potatoes, milk, carrots.  OTOH, I won't have to go again until Monday.

Christmas Eve services went pretty well. DB sang well, and I only made a few ooopsies, most of which only I (or the kids) noticed. The service this year was pretty short, so we were home before 9pm.

Other than that, it's been a fairly quiet week. I LIKE those -- it's nice to have nothing on the schedule once in a while.
