I’m sure I’m forgetting something important (and ten other random facts)

Fact #1: Zoe has been taking a (kind of) home ec class this semester, and she has become very interested in cooking and baking. I’m not hating it. She made some great cookies a couple of weeks ago. She has made crepes twice without any help, and today she made seven-layer dip.

Fact #2: We got a new banister on our porch, which was much needed as our old one (original to the house) was rusted out and likely to kill an elderly person or delivery driver this season. 

We sent a photo of the new banister to Nicky, and he said “That’s not my house. I’m not coming home to that.” So I guess he’s officially moved out. 

Fact #3: I still sit on the floor to wrap presents. I don’t know how much longer I will live this way, so I just wanted to put that out there. In three years, I might look back on this post and realize this was my final year. 

Fact #4: About once a year, I accidentally bump the bidet while I’m cleaning the toilet and get a brutal awakening. Thursday, December 28 was that day. 

Fact #5: The other day, while out in public, I looked down and saw a hygiene crotch sticker stuck to my pant leg. I have no idea where it came from, and I hadn’t been to any stores that would have them.

Ew.

Fact #6: We’ve had some big wind gusts this past week- one resulting in a snapped power pole right outside our house.

They had to turn off our power for about 7-8 hours while they replaced the pole. Merry Christmas to us!

Fact #7: As I’m writing this, I have two grocery orders underway. One for Sam’s club and one for Walmart. I need to finalize them so they can be delivered tomorrow, but I want them to be my very last orders/purchases until after Christmas, so I keep thinking, “Is this everything? What am I forgetting?” 

Fact #8: I’m not sure if I’m allowed in Eva’s room.

Fact #9: I have now made the grocery order commitments. Walmart lets you make changes up until a certain point, so if I think of anything I’ve forgotten, I can still add it tonight. But Sam’s club doesn’t let you add anything to your order after it’s submitted, so what’s done is done. 

(Why can’t Sam’s Club make order changes? I find this baffling since Walmart and Sam’s are the same company. Do better, Sam’s Club). 

Fact #10: I don’t know if I dare say this, but I think we’re pretty much done with Christmas prep. I have four gifts to wrap, and other than that, there are just a couple of small tasks that I can do but don’t have to do.  

What am I forgetting?
