Things I Should Be Doing......right now:
Brushing the cat Writing out cards Baking cherry nut bread Baking any cookies, any at all Making up gift mixes Wrapping/shipping gifts Ordering other gifts Making cuttings for the rosemary wreath Studying for the final Cleaning up the kitchen
But I'm drinking coffee and messing around the 'net, mostly. That, and finding it difficult to muster much guilt.

Advent HackI was excited to get out the Advent Calendar and clip it up above our new patio door this year. But I certainly wasn't expecting the "cornice" to prove too thick for the small Bulldog clips!
After a few days of deliberation, and at the point where I'd pretty much thrown up my hands and begun clipping them into the tree (PSA: this does NOT work with a curious five-year-old), D. grabbed some spare plastic clips we'd used to attach lights to the gutters, and voila! instant remedy.
Now they can still hang cheerily in the (as-still largely undecorated and far, far too beige) kitchen, and keep far out of reach of small hands.
