• The grocery store at lunchtime on the day X-mas Eve Eve is ungodly busy. Especially the baking goods aisle. But I totally scored a small container of sparkling sugar! (Which makes the 1 lb bag I ordered online seem a bit frivolous, but it'll get used). What's sparkling sugar? It is the big, huge sugar crystals that you often see on bakery and store bought cookies. It isn't easy to find at the grocery store (at least the ones I frequent). It isn't the same as sprinkles or the colored sugar sprinkles.
• I have four Fetchings finished. It has been an interesting experiment because Tahki redid the yarn since I used it last and it is 8 yards shorter. I have to eek out 6 hours at some point before X-mas day to finish the last pair.
• Oh, and I added in a scarf to my X-mas knitting list. It is 2/3rds finished. It is in a bulky novelty yarn on size 11 needles, so I should only need about 40 minutes to finish it.
• MUST REMEMBER TO TAKE PICTURES BEFORE GIFTING!!!
• I just watched the "Grinch." It's one of the few X-mas movies that I like (along with "A Christmas Story" of course).
• I need to bake a bunch of cookies tomorrow. Clean the apartment. Clean the hamster cage (YUCK!). Wrap gifts. And as mentioned above, find time for finishing knitting gifts. This all means that I have to actually get up at a decent time and can't keep sleeping in.

Happy Holidays!!
