Random bits and pieces today

Because we won't be here New Year's eve and I must have the house absolutely clean before the new year starts, I have been cleaning like a mad woman. It's a tradition thing - the whole out with the old, in with the new. It's my "clean" start for the new year. The only thing that I'll be sad (and will have to make up for when we get back) is fixing a traditional new year's day meal. I just don't think I'll be able to get collard greens or black eye peas in Bermuda. So I'm cleaning, cleaning, cleaning and just about done except for the floors and the office. The office is my goal today. Right now it's a cluttered mess and things have got to go.

Still working on getting the ballet video.

Ronette came home safe and sound yesterday. A two hour drive home from the airport in 5 o'clock traffic, but home. And she brought me yummies back. Cheese. Stinky cheese. Unpasteurized French milk cheese. No brie this time, but a similar soft cheese that I can't remember the name of. When I open it, I will post what it is called.

OK, so Bonnie and I are going to slave away while I listen to holiday music.

I shall ask

Trashy romance novels anyone?
Before I craigslist this suckers.

ETA: Nix that for now. I could only find 15 books. Although if you want the 15 I found . . .
