Day 4 of December

Well it is December 12th and I still haven't gotten my Christmas cards sent. Let me rephrase that, I haven't even finished my cards. That is the next thing on my list - on my very long list.
Saturday night Patrick and I went to see another school play. This time it was MacBeth and my niece Jane was in it. Of course Patrick wanted to sit in the front row and so we did. It was a little too close for me. My neck was getting sore from staring up at MacBeth for most of the night. He would stand right in front of me. Thankfully, the few times that spit came flying from his mouth, he was standing somewhere else. The young man who played MacBeth was an amazing actor. He delivered his lines with such conviction and enthusiasim, that even I was getting into MacBeth. There was one point in the play where he placed his hand in the witche's cauldron. When he brought his hands up, he shook them and some of the witches brew (vinegar and such) landed on Patrick. Well both Patrick and I spend the next 5-10 minutes trying not to laugh out loud. I'm sure the entire front row was shaking from our giggling. Who knew there would be comedy. Jane did a wonderful job as well in the play. At one point, her character was being threatened by MacBeth, and the look of terror on Jane's face had me scared as well.
After the play Jane, Patrick and I went out for something to eat and then headed home. Everyone was tired.
Today I did my treadmill - not as early as I had hoped, but there were things on that darn list... Then I headed out to some stores. Hit Michaels first. I got Jane's Christmas present. You know the feeling you get when you have bought that perfect gift, well I believe Jane's is the perfect gift I bought this year. I can't wait to see her face. After Michael's I met my sister Robin over at Walmart. Needed a couple of stocking stuffers. Well we arrived only to discover, they now sell produce, and everything. I thought I would try out this new concept (had planned on going to Sobey's anyhow) and I think I got most things on my grocery list. (no frozen fruit or meat though)
I trying a Lean Cuisine Healthy eating program for a week. Their meals are very similar to Jenny Craigs. We'll see how they taste. You can go their website and print out a meal plan for a week.

K, writing in my blog is off the list. I better move on to other things.
