OK - countdown to the holidays

It's crunch time - it's 8 days to Hannukah, 15 days to Solstice, and 17
days to Christmas!!
So...what is everyone working on??? Tell, tell, designs to sell,
special orders, gifts for yourselves, gifts for family?
I'm SUPPOSED to be working on the following special orders - a Zuni
bear necklace the office is giving my boss, a pearl and abalone
bracelet, a rhodonite and sodalite bracelet, a burgundy coin pearl
necklace, a peacock coin pearl necklace (both of those I have to buy
supplies for a the bead show I'm going to Saturday). So, what am I
doing instead??? I'm watching TV, hsn of all things, trying to wake up
enough to design.....procrastination, thy name is Patti this year. TG
only the pearl and abalone bracelet has to be done by this afternoon.
What's going on with everyone else?

I am busy knitting bracelets. This time I am using gold plated wire and
dare I mention it, amethysts. I thought of putting a gold ribbon behind
it but it does not gel.

I made a necklace for my sister at least a month ago. I thought I was ahead
of schedule ... but as of now, I'm still working on my Christmas cards,
haven't wrapped anything that I'm shipping, and haven't bought anything for
DH or DS! The only thing done on time was my beading. Hmmm.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one!

I haven't writtien ONE Christmas card, and the only shopping I've done was a
few books from Amazon.

Spike, however, will have a big new fleecy toy under the tree though.

For us, "Christmas" is this Saturday, Dec. 16. You heard me right.

Kevin's family decided they'd do us a huge favor (TRULY!) and save us
from having to fly. You've never flown unless you've done it in a
wheelchair, with an FMS wife who needs a tank of oxygen (but can't get
it on the plane since 9/11). So it's great that they're all coming
here. REALLY great, especially since it's not easy for some of them,
either (his sister is pregnant and has a toddler!).

But........I would suggest to everyone here to NEVER move into a new
house and then have Christmas early. Honest to gawd. It isn't pretty.

I'm preparing for my first open house on the 16th between studying for
final exams. The biggest problem is that the boiler in my apartment
building is having problems. My heat won't turn off! It's 85F+ in
here and it's getting into the fifties outside, so opening the windows
isn't working anymore. I'm dizzy from the heat.

Wait -- don't answer that, you'll get weirdo emails from freaks who
