I'm feeling VERY tired. I think part of it was getting everyone up early and out the door - Roy and the younger two went with his parents to the family holiday breakfast buffet, and I got Katie going and myself, and then took her too a TAG event at one of the high schools, and then met up with the family at the buffet. Then a stop at the AT&T store for new phones (adding Katie..shhh...Santa) and got a new phone for me since mine is workable but technically broken. These are the basic phones to get with reupping the account, and came in black, blue and red. Roy will take the black one. I decided on the red one, hee! Katie will get the blue one. Right now it's hidiing in my lingerie drawer.

Then it was a rush to pick up Katie - left Roy at the phone store to get her since handling the fourth line and all that entailed more paperwork and such (his sister is a third on our plan already) then picked him up (we told her we got a new phone for ME because mine broke, lol) and then home for a quick lunch for Katie. I ate too much at the buffet, although I didn't stuff myself - I'm proud of that.

Then off to have family portraits done.

Nothing like a picture of you with our family to show just how overweight you've become. *sigh* Still, I'm me, this is me now, and my children aren't getting any younger. Got some really great shots and we're well pleased.

Home to make spaghetti for dinner - by that time I was hungry - and watched SGA and Ghost Whisperer while doing cross stitch. I'm barrelling along on this poppy project. Since poppies are for remembrance, I think I'll have this one framed up and give it to my grandmother.

Been rereading some Charlotte Frost stuff - batagur, add these recs: Phantoms and Sanctuary. Pretty much anything by her. And Kaye Austen Michaels. And Dana Austin Marsh. The Me & Thee archive is here: http://meandthee.shahrazad.net/

I'm cold, waiting for the electric blanket to warm up my bed. There's laundry on it to put away. That should occupy me. Tomorrow I need to handle some Goodwill donations and do a LOT of work at job #2. I'm very behind.

Hope your weekend is good.
