Making Calls

Today, I would like to made return visits to some people who visited Lemon Drop Pie over the weekend. As I was mentally adding this to my to-do list, I thought it sounded rather like I needed to make some calls. Not phone calling, but Jane Austin type calls. Victorian calls.

This could prove to be difficult, however, as Lily is running around in circles yelling, “I’m the gingerbread girl! You can’t catch me!” as Emmy is chasing wildly after her. So much for little children being seen and not heard.

Speaking of gingerbread, I would like to try to make some with the girls today. I’ve never made it before, and think store-bought gingerbread has the consistency of cardboard. I’m sure making some from scratch must be tastier, don’t you?

I also must finish some correspondence today as well. (a.k.a. the Christmas letter) By necessity, it happens to be washing day. I will have to remind the maid. (a.k.a. me!)

I’ll be sure to drop off my calling card in your parlor when I come calling. In the meantime, have a wonderful Monday!

Is NaBloPoMo Over Already?

Yay! I’ve completed NaBloPoMo for a second year without my husband divorcing me or my children disowning me!

Writing a post every day for a month has just reinforced something I already knew. If I can’t think of anything to write, just sit down and start writing. What happens next may not be pretty, but something will get written.

Not only have I completed 30 days of writing, I just finished baking my four dozen Christmas cookies for my MOPS cookie exchange tomorrow. As I was baking, I had a great idea for this post. I do not remember what I was going to write, but it was going to be good.

Now, if you will excuse me, I am off in search of a neato “I completed NaBloPoMo 2010” button to display somewhere on this blog. See, I told you something would get written…and it ain’t pretty. While I still kinda have your attention, pop on over to Chris at a CRAZY kind of FAITH to give her a virtual high 5 for finishing NaBloPoMo, too! Way to go, Chris!

Off to find that button….
