Another early morning. I hate these. Thankfully this morning was the last time I need to be up at 4am for a while. I hope I don’t fall asleep during the movie this morning.

Tonight we’re finishing up our shopping. Actually, “finishing up” isn’t quite the correct phrase - it’s more like “starting” our shopping. We know what we’re getting the few that we’re shopping for, and we need to buy some gift bags and wrapping stuffs. I’m not sure, but we also might be picking up some new jammies to continue the tradition we started last year of lounging at mom’s house in jammies all Christmas day.

Saturday we’re going to mom’s for dinner, and Nanny will show Eddie how to make applesauce from scratch to prove that not all of our secret family recipes come off of boxes and cans.

Since I’ve got a 4-day weekend, I’m going to finish up the one last blanket I need to work on, which hopefully won’t take forever and will get done tonight or tomorrow. It shouldn’t, considering that it’s perhaps the simplest thing out there, but I tend to get distracted easily. I did sit down last night for most of the time after I picked up Eddie and worked on the one for Dad. It’s all put together and the border is done, all that’s left to finish is weaving in the ends of the threads of the squares. I did make it slightly smaller than it was supposed to be simply because of time and because it was already pretty big even without the last row of squares on it.

Aside from Christmas, the rest of the weekend will be devoted to upgrading and testing the latest upgrade for Wordpress. There’s already a pretty much final version of WP2.0 floating around, and the official release is on Dec. 26. There’s also an existing version of Kiwi that’s supposed to work with WP2.0, and I’ve got to upgrade things so I know how it all works. I got offered a chance to help work on the next upgrade to the theme, so I figure it’s best to get my hands dirty and start trying to figure out how things work.

Note to self: Email the people about the monkeys this afternoon
