(to-do) Vacation Tuesday!

So, today Argus is feeling better, so we're going to do what we were planning on doing yesterday. So today's list is mostly a list of what we need to do when we're out.

To-Do:

1. Finish the Will (homework)
2. Galley Table tonight! (9pm)
3. Tron: Legacy in 3D at 4:25 pm (Concord Regal for any of my NH friends who want to go)
4. Lunch or Dinner at Olive Garden
5. Eye exam at WalMart (yay, contacts!)
6. Buying Gift Cards for the family
7. Get muffin tins from WalMart (I want snowflake ones, for pound cake)
8. Molly Dec. 21
9. Wrap presents
10. Laundry
11. More Chex Mix! (oh yeah, get another large tin at WalMart)

I think I'll make the pound cake tomorrow. And we want to swim in there somewhere. Hrm, probably not today. Maybe tomorrow.

(advent) December 21 - Chestnuts roasting on an open fire...

December 21

Molly stepped outside and breathed in deeply. The icy scent of snow and evergreens and the sea flooded her lungs, giving her a blast of energy that she never tired of. In the Cove, the combination of Roads and the sea gave the air a fresh scent that she didn’t notice in other towns. Maybe it’s the magic, she thought once again. It was the only answer she could come up with. After all, the folks of the Cove had cars; not that many of them used them in town, true, but they were there.

Then again, in what other town would you see things like that on a regular basis? She watched as Lisa and Neil Jackson swept by in their sleigh, gliding over the icy paving stones, pulled by two of the stags from the herd they kept on their farm. The pale white deer looked like snow ghosts as they trotted down the lane, heading into the downtown area. Waving to Lisa, Molly made a mental note to package up some more of the gingerbread men and send them off to the farm; the kids would love them. And she’d include some of the doggie cookies too, for Tigger, yet another of Schrodinger’s friends.

I adore this version. Sadly, they didn’t have the Carol Burnett version that I have, but this one is good too.
