What I Did On My Christmas Vacation.

January 3, 2006 By Mindy

3 Jan

1.  Went home.  Spent time with my family.  Ate good food.  Girls knitted.  Boys played X-box.

2.  Bought 2 nearly identical bridesmaids dresses.  The differences?  Different color–one periwinkle, one bisque; different top–one a halter, one a sweetheart neckline tank; different lace wraps–each dress has a little lacey wrap jacket–one in white, one in cream.  Hoo boy that was fun!

3.  Went to Toledo.  Visited friends from college.  Drove home the same day.  6 hours on the road.  Love it!

4.  Read 3 books.  To the Power of Three by Laura Lippman, Mary Mary by James Patterson, My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Piccoult.

5.  Found Yarn & More in Ashland, Kentucky (close to the fam).  Bought big, chunky yarn for a scarf on big, chunky needles.

6.  Knit some on the Who Dey socks.

7.  Made prime rib with mushroom cream sauce, mashed potatoes, green beans, and a chocolate pecan pie for New Year’s Eve.  Drank wine.

8.  Watched football.

I think that sums it up nicely.
