In the morning I went to the bonk at Fred Meyer's, and then I went and finished up all my shopping for Christmas gifts. There are still several things I need to make, but nothing more that I need to buy. I like to put words into italics.
Umm... yeah. After lunch w/Carrie I came back with her to the store so I could fax something to my mortgage peoples. Then I dropped off a jewelry order at Ever After and continued back to Fred Meyer to buy chicken, cheese, and onion. You'll see why in just a bit.
Then I spent the rest of the afternoon until after 6:00 working on Bead Factory stuffs.
Around 5:30 Carrie came home. She had been out running an errand with Catherine. Around 6:00 she started cooking some from-scratch chicken noodle soup and I went and picked up Lawrence. When Carrie was done with the soup I cooked up several grilled cheese sammitches and we ate them with the soup. Good comfort food. Then there was quite a bit of Mario Kart Double Dash.
A while later in the evening Steph came over, enjoyed the food we made and the wine we opened, and then I taught her how to etch! She's etching stuff for Jamie's (her boyfriend) brother and father. For the brother, two pint glasses with stylized mountains (and a birdy) on them; for the father, two smaller glasses with T-Rex heads on them. The dinosaurs are really, really cute. Jamie also came over and enjoyed the food & wine, then cook up playing Mario Kart. He got really good really fast.
Carrie finally kicked everybody out after 11:00 and we went to bed with some バトマン. I tried to play some Animal Crossing but I got so sleepy that I was nodding off with the DS in my hands before I was even halfway done talking to everyone in the town. I just managed to make sure nobody was moving out before I saved and fell quickly to sleep.
