We've been doing the team approach to the college applications. They aren't simple, and stuff is tucked in all sorts of odd pages, so we've been knocking off the bits and pieces. They will probably be submitted all at once because it says you can't edit a version once it is submitted--if that means you have to work up a new version, no thanks. We'll finish it all (my part is the technical stuff, family info, history, etc. He is doing the hard part--writing essays, answering career goal questions, etc.) I'd really like to have this over with.
I have wrapped a fair amount of what I have here, but since one recipient is in the house, I'll finish some of it in my room tomorrow. Alas, I do have more shopping to do. Being sick for over a week right before the holidays was such a bummer--now I have to finish my shopping in the worst of the crowds.
I have to write a holiday letter. I haven't for several years. It's about time!
I know I've gained back some weight, but I think not so bad as some years. I haven't eaten too many cookies (it's the wine that is the culprit in the evenings. . . ) but I'm going to be on the diet again before the holiday break is over. I feel motivated, but it is so difficult with fancy meals and all of the baking. Someone pointed out (was it here, or on Facebook) it's not the time between Christmas and New Year's to worry about, as much as it is the time between New Year's and Christmas that will get you into real trouble (one year minus one week, in other words. In case anyone is too tired to do the math.)
