With only a little over four weeks to go until we load up a van with a subset of our belongings and drive north, there is much going on in my life...but really not much other than The Impending Move. So unless something monumental happens, say we actually sell the house or we win the lottery, I won't be posting until we are up north and settled in. After all, how exciting is it to report that another box has been packed or I canceled COMCAST or I can't wait to leave?
So happy Thanksgiving and enjoy the holidays that follow, whichever of them that you celebrate, and I will see you either at the end of 2009 or the beginning of 2010. TTFN!

The week ahead
This coming week is going to be a busy one for me. I admit that most of the time, my life is quite laid back and my time is my own. Not this week, but I am not complaining.
Tomorrow, Monday, I have my last Monday Morning Mystery book group discussion. I have absolutely enjoyed the two book groups in which I have participated, both at the local library. Being around other people who like to read books and who like to talk about books is always a treat. I have already checked and learned that the local library in New York also has book groups - yippee! Sometime either before or after tomorrow's discussion, I will make a Goodwill donation drop off along with assorted other errands, plus we have a Cub Scout den meeting at five pm.
Tuesday, the real fun starts. This is the week that all grades at Aidan's school have Thanksgiving "feasts", when families are invited to dine and enjoy Thanksgiving-related activities. Two grades per day have their feasts, and I volunteered to help serve at Tuesday's feast. I have no idea exactly what I will be doing, but I am to report at 10:30 am and expect to be there until 1:30 pm.
Wednesday is my usual two-hour volunteer shift in the school library, but it is also Aidan's feast day. I will start in the library, then go and eat with Aidan in the cafeteria, followed by the class play in the classroom.
Since I will miss much of my Wednesday library shift and because other volunteers have their own feasts to attend, I volunteered to work another two-hour shift on Thursday. I enjoy working in the library so an extra shift is no trouble at all.
On Friday, I have to catch up on errands, give the house a quick once-over and get my hair cut by the fabulous Randy. Friday evening, we head to the airport to pick up James, who will be here until Monday morning - yippee! He has requested a full menu during his visit, so I will be a cooking fool. But a happy cooking fool!
