Madly cleaning
Right now Dave and I are madly cleaning the house in preparation for a visit from my parents. They are arriving tomorrow and leaving on Tuesday. What's ironic is all eyes will be on Henry, so I probably could have left everything in the sorry state it was in, and no one would have even noticed. If only I was a little less type A. What's on the agenda for this particular visit? Bucknell is playing Holy Cross Saturday night, so my dad and Dave will be heading off on that particular adventure. While they're doing that, my mom and I will be celebrating Second Christmas: watching "Love, Actually" and possibly "White Christmas" while we finish sewing up Henry's xmas stocking (I got pretty far on it, but then completely crapped out a few days before it would have officially been put to use). I should have left up all the decorations I noticed (days later, I should add) I had forgotten to take down when dismantling all things Christmassy. On Sunday, we'll be boiling up lobsters and clams in celebration of both my parents' (Jan. 4th) and our (Jan. 13th) wedding anniversaries. I'm *really* looking forward to that.
Henry's been fussing and crying off and on over the last half hour. He seems to have settled down. I should probably go straight to bed, but I think I'll crash on the couch with some boysenberry sorbet and my dog and watch whatever countdown show either VH1 or E! happens to be showing. Sounds like a good plan to me...
