Today is the last day of son’s school for two weeks. Is there happy dancing going on? Oh, you bet. Here are a few things I’ll be doing while he sleeps till noon, probably does a LITTLE homework, and catches up on guitar strumming and web-comic reading.
1. Getting another draft of my picture book out to my critique group. (Yes, I promised!)
2. Doing a little last-minute shopping and wrapping the last of the presents.
3. Thinking about my sister-in-law’s Coffee Toffee Bars.
4. Contemplating my first Power-Point presentation.
5. Being amazed that we are really heading into 2011. And wondering about/imagining what the year will bring.

Fun list ~ especially the last. Pondering what wonderful surprises are in store.
BTW: Now I’m thinking about those Coffee Toffee bars!
My favorite Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream is Coffee Heath Bar Crunch . . . so I know I’d love them!

For Ben & Jerry’s I usually take Phish Food or Creme Brulee. Or pretty much anything in the freezer!

I get much more stressed when I leave things till the last minute. Adrenaline does NOTHING for me. ๐
