In
preparation to go home next Friday, EIGHT SLEEPS FROM NOW, I have bought 144 votive
candles and their glass holders for a very special wedding, written a Christmas
letter for family and a few select friends, and am receiving packages in the
post for things people want from the States that are more expensive or not
available at home. Clothes from baby gap
(so cute, Madstar and Haz are lucky little people), cowboy belts for the resident
cowboy (Mr. Bird, Sr.), and a kindle for some cuzzies (still waiting, I hope it
gets here in time). Older-sis ordered a
bunch of American mags too, so I’m trying to get through those.
I am also in
the process of finishing off our New Zealand Christmas shopping. “Finishing off”
is an exaggeration. I should say,
starting. Fortunately, my study has
finished, placing me into a very wintery summer holiday, so I have the time to
concentrate on all these things.
Unfortunately, I am far more inclined to knit and watch old episodes of the
Mary Tyler Moore show. I should get on
it though. We have dinner engagements
and thanksgiving to get through before I leave.
Oh, and the black Friday sales the morning I leave.
Really, I have no complaints.
Black Friday Sales?? You might have to blog about that! We hope the Kindle arrives too, it is, according to email correspondence, on it's way!
