Well, Christmas 2001 is almost history in the Lingl/Droll house this year. I'm in the process of getting the tree itself down. As I hate to waste a perfectly good tree (chalk it up to my Indian roots), I always chop the branches up and use the tree in the fireplace. It makes less of a mess than dragging it through the house to the outside, doesn't clog up landfills and pleases the senses since I LOVE the smell of burning pine. (Have I ever mentioned I'm a pyromaniac?) After that I need to find a couple of boxes to pack the after-Christmas bargains I got this year (Thanks to everyone who didn't go decoration shopping this season), take the stuff to storage, and I'm all DONE! Well, not quite, but I'll put scrubbing the floor and vacuuming,etc. into the housecleaning category, not the packing up Christmas category.Next on today's agenda is changing the oil in the car and getting some crafting done. I've been working on a latch-hook wolf rug since 1994 and I resolve to finish it this year. I'm sure I'll look back on this next year and laugh my head off. Oh, well. I also need to do some research to find out why ICQ is not working on our home network anymore. It used to work, now it doesn't. Neither ICQ, Earthlink (our satellite provider) or WinProxy (our proxy client) knows what the problem is. Dang it, I like ICQ better than AIM. ARGH!
I wanted to wash the car this week, but they're saying it's going to be cold all week. Dang it!
