Hunh

My MG arrived and I opened her box, then figured yay, toy time. Only her pincurls were a hot mess, my fix made them worse, and I suspect her wig might be crooked. That or her braids are off center. Which is possible but what's harshing my dolly squee is that apparently her left eye looks like it was pinched or hit or something. I can't get a good picture of it and of course it's dark.

On the one hand, no one loves Island of Misfit toys more than me. On the other hand, it's a little disconcerting. She's basically forever o_O.

Foreverrrrr.

Do I contact AG? Do I love her more for the oddness?

I think I just need to take a decent shot of her and have someone else say they see it, too. And then we can live happily ever after. Cecile the zombie and MG the forever o_O

To Do, an ongoing list

Okay, self. You have some stuff to do this week and a lot of stuff to do before Christmas. Let's try and be organized about this madness, shall we?

Today, you need to do:

• Laundry


• Take another shower


• Make Lists!


• make Mums call a doctor and set up an appointment


• assemble the stuff for Mom's paperwork so you can send it tomorrow.

Friday you need to make sure Mums goes to the grocery store in case the boy really does attend this "family" holiday party you were not invited to and family means you hold grudges long past their expiration date. You also might need to do some other shopping. We'll see.

Also, buy the stuff for the cheese biscuits so we'll have something to try this weekend.

Pay water bill and cable bill. Weep. (cable bill can be bumped to next payday!)


Holiday cooking:
Find recipes for the bestest jam thumbprints, the boy's peanut butter cookies, the household's favorite chocolate chip cookies, and find out what Mums wants cookie wise.
  Make list of ingredients, paying particular attention to what we still need.

Fudge, take 2!

Crack pie?

What do we still need for Christmas dinner aside from my grape juice? List!


Gift shopping:

• Friday, place the order for Cass and the boy's gifts.


• Figure out what you're buying Widget, then buy/order Friday.


• Mums, if you've stumbled across this, LOOK AWAY. ( Seriously. )
  Ooh, see if bookstore of potential win is still around so I can use my gift certificate thingie. *muse*


• Figure out something for Ari. What do you buy the person who buys their own gifts?


• K's gift: either buy online or head to World Market to see if they've got shiny things on her list.


• Find the missing folder of shiny things so you can send it to the person who will love it properly.


• Stocking stuffers!

o_O

Geez. This doesn't even take into account the people who are getting their gifts for Epiphany.
