Library: check. In addition to the books I always get books for Sarah to quiz on at Book Adventure, she found three books about space exploration. They all look to be written in the 70's, and are at least junior high level reading. I'm sure she'll look at the pictures, but will ignore the words. I also got Curly Girl, about dealing with curly hair. I only glanced through it, but it already looks interesting. There are many anecdotes in the "I hated my hair and tried to straighten it, but now that I let it be curly, I love it" family. Yeah, I get it. Her hair is awesome, and I'm not going to mess with it, but I would like to be able to deal with it better, maybe even make it curl more. The most interesting thing so far is that the author recommends never using shampoo. I have yet to find what to use instead, though. I'm looking forward to reading the rest.

Macaroons: nope, because I'm out of parchment paper. I did make peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate and a few mint chocolate dipped Faux-reos, though. Macaroons & more of the mint dipped cookies are on the list for tonight.

Christmas cards: bought, and signed by Jeff. I need to get stamps, and get the girls to sign them before I add mine and get the addresses rolling.

Internet shopping: bought a puzzle for Jeff's mom, and cheap software for the kids. I still need to order a Coney Kit for Jeff's grandma & uncle in Florida, and some CDs for his dad.

Work: Have you ever had a coworker you wanted to throttle but couldn't because she's also a good friend? I know she's overwhelmed right now, and they have her juggling too much, but every time one of those balls falls, it seems to hit me on the head. I'm not mad, just frustrated. I'm once again looking at trying to find something else. Of course, all the stuff I see either requires skills or education I don't have, or pays about half as much as I'm making now. This job really is great in most aspects. It just isn't reliable.

Today is grocery shopping, and once Jeff's parents get here to babysit, I have a few more presents to look for before I go to work.
