Crowded Life

Fio is making a list of the things she wants to do once she turns the book in.  Like walking the dog again, like getting a photofacial, a perm, and highlighting.  Like working a jigsaw puzzle, fixing up her so-called office, shopping for new shoes.  Like painting a little.

Like starting on a new book.

Christmas Frenzy

Fio is on a roll!  She finished off her Christmas sonnet on Wednesday and mocked up her card yesterday evening.  She's also cut out a dozen big snowflakes and taped them on windows around the house.  The stocking are up too.  Still to go are showcasing her many nativity scenes, tying bows on everything tyable, decorating every empty surface with Santas, hanging plastic snowflakes from the little tree outside the door, putting up the wreaths and swags, baking gingerbread cakes for the neighbors and--oh yes--shopping.
