I'm pretty good. Got all my shopping done online, still have to wrap though. Although I only buy for DH and my kids from just me, DH buys everything else.
Nicole is earning money cleaning the house for $10/hour and is doing a great job, really. I can highly recommend her for hire, LOL.
DH started pressure cleaning the back patio, and wow, what a difference. There is actually gray concrete under the dirt. It really didnt look that bad till you clean it off.... honestly!!!
Hubby is doing the carpets on Thursday, so I am going to work and stay out of his way. Taking Friday off to do stuff like washing dishes and tableclothes and going shopping, etc. for the big party on Sunday, 20+ people.
I really do love the party, I just wish hubby wouldnt insist on having a turkey!!!!! It just keeps me in the kitchen way too much, even if he says he is making it. You all know how that goes, all the other stuff, the side dishes, the rolls, yadayadayada.... Plus we are getting a honey baked spiral ham. I could go with just that.
On the plus side, we are having bowle, a punch made with sugared strawberries soaked overnight covered by some wine in the fridge, then the next day, add the remainder of the wine (think a gallon of wine) when you are ready to serve add a bottle of champage. In the old days we added some brandy too, but we dont do that anymore.....
It is served in this really neat big ceramic bowl with relief pictures of the castles along the Rhine river on it, with matching mugs. It was a wedding present from DH's army buddies. Sadly, we lost about 4 mugs so far, only 8 left... Which maybe isnt all that bad for annual use for 36 years, but irreplacable nonetheless.
