I totally choked on the first note of my solo, but&#8230;it&#8217;s not brain surgery, and no one died, so I&#8217;m ok with that.  At least I corrected the first note and redeemed myself playing the rest of it.  :)  Someday I will learn to get over my stage fright.  Maybe.)<\/p>\n<p>So, what&#8217;s left on my <a href=\"\/journal\/archives\/000513.shtml\">to-do list<\/a> from Monday?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I still have two gifts to finish knitting.  One of them isn&#8217;t even started yet.  Can you hear the panic in my typing?  Obviously, that&#8217;s what&#8217;s being packed knitting-wise for the trip.  I might toss in a ball of sock yarn just in case (yeah, right) I manage to finish the gifts before we get back.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;m almost done wrapping things, enough so that the rest could probably wait until we get back from our trip.  Especially since two of the things aren&#8217;t done anyway.  (See above.)<\/li>\n<li>The inside decorations are up and the boxes put away, and the outside just hasn&#8217;t been cooperating weather-wise&#8230;maybe I just won&#8217;t bother this year.  :(<\/li>\n<li>Cookie baking.  Well, I have two choices: stay up until probably 2 or 3 in the morning tonight, or buy cookies.  The Italian Catholic guilt gene is saying &#8220;stay up, you know you really shouldn&#8217;t bring store-bought cookies.&#8221;  The rest of me is saying &#8220;go buy those really fancy Italian cookies and go to bed early so you can enjoy the trip.&#8221;  Which will win?  Tune in tomorrow&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, aside from the cookie debate, and the feeling that the neighbors must think we&#8217;re horrible grinchy people with just a small door decoration and candles in the windows but no wreaths or garlands, and the fact that I have several hours of knitting left to do, I&#8217;m less stressed.  No, really, my to-do list is getting shorter every day.  Of course, the time left to finish everything I have to do is also getting shorter every day.<\/p>\n<p>Really, I just want to be able to get back to knitting stuff for me.  Two sweaters and a vest, and several pairs worth of sock yarn have been calling from my stash for days now.  Not to mention my stalled aran afghan.  But I&#8217;m going to be a good girl and ignore them for just  a few more days.  Probably.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Side note: Last night&#8217;s concert went much better.
