Ok, I am frustrated. I am on patrick's computer and all of the usual post features are showing up. I think I need to get him to update internet explorer on my computer so that I can post properly from there again. I could just use this computer, but Patrick won't install the camera's software on it so there would be no pictures anyway. By the way, HP cameras come with about 8 different programs that automaticly start up every time you turn the computer on. On the 7 year old computer that I use that means slow going. I have to shut them all down before I do anything complicated or Mr. Hourglass and me get to be buddies.
I did a major grocery shop today and even though I spent $300, I didn't get everything off my list! That $300 was after the 15% discount too. I had thought that I would buy less since we are leaving in a week, but feeding the house sitters and diapering Lizzy brought it right back to where it usually is. At least I only buy this much once a month. I should have got about 200 pictures printed up as well but it sliped my mind. I know it is a lot of pictures. Lizzy is just so cute that the 50 people on my Christmas Card list are each getting 3 pictures. Well, there are actually 5 pictures. I shrunk 4 of them down to 2"x3" so I can print 2 of them per photo. I really could not narrow it down any more then that. I hope they end up on the fridge or something, not just in the garbage.
Lizzy has been catching up on her sleep all day today. She also slept well last night. It has just occured to me that she may have finished a growth spurt. Hopefully she will sleep well for a while. I too much stuff to do before we leave for Christmas.
I am more excited about this Christmas then I have been in a long time. The last time I spent Christmas Day with my family was before we were married and before my Dad died. Since then My mom has sold the family home so things are being held at my sister Ali's house. My mom won't be there this year since she is in Thailand. It should still be a boisterous housefull though. Christmas just doesn't feel right if there are less then ten people around the tree. I think there should be at least 17 of us there this year. This is Lizzy and her cousin Cameron's first Christmas. I wonder what they will think of it?
