1. The boys father returned in the middle of the night yesterday and so now I am housewife (not single mom).

2. Advent is humming along.

3. My cards and gifts are done! Huzzah! I have to decide if I am giving cards (+ gift cards) to teachers & soccer coaches & bus driver but that's it.

4. I watched Die Hard. I watched L.A. Confidential. I am watching Three Days of the Condor.

5. I finished The Matisse Stories by A. S. byatt (audiobook) as well as the audiobook version of Hercule Poirot's Christmas and The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding.

6. We put up the tiny tree and decorated it. The green lights I got at the store are VERY GREEN.

I listened to a dramatised version of Poirot's Christmas and Adventure of the Christmas Pudding!

I like the idea of VERY GREEN lights :)

They are good! I am going to read Envious Casca too.

I took a photo! I will post it and you will see what I mean! Grinch green!

That all sounds very efficient :-)

I am trying! I always feel that I am at loose ends but when I write it out, it doesn't seem so frazzled!

Re: 4, that is an excellent slate of movies. Good taste ;)

Ha! I got them from an Internet list of films taking place at Christmastime. I am afraid I didn't make it to the end of 3days of the condor. The mix of asshole/not asshole Redford wasn't working for me. I liked la confidential!
