Five for Friday, Edition #32

In the spirit of San's list of five things for NaBloPoMo, I'm going to simply write five things I am planning on doing today on my day off. 

1) Put up Christmas decorations - the tree, the outside lights, and everything. It's supposed to be windy and cold, so we might nix the outside stuff if it's too bad and do that later if we have to.

2) Order my holiday cards - I already have THREE (THREE!) holiday cards, including ones from Elisabeth and J. I bought stamps already, so now it's just figuring out what photos to use from 2025 and order a card.

3) Buy some gifts. Not all of them, but I need to get started. Here's who I think I might be buying for this year. Honestly, just typing this out made me feel better. The list is reasonable.

• My husband
• The 2-3 niblings we get in the draw
• Bestest Friend
• TJC
• My peer mentor 
• The lady who coordinates yoga at the student union - She's retiring and her last day is January 2. *sigh* Guess who's taking over coordinating yoga?
• The mail carrier 
• I'll grab a tag or two off an angel tree

4) Take Hannah on an adventure. Last weekend we went to the dog park for the first time in 2025. There are reasons I stopped taking her, but she had a blast and maybe I should be better about taking her to places she can run around off-leash more often.

Dog park last Sunday. I love her furrowed brow. What does she have to be worried about?

5) When I came back from my cleaning my mother's stuff, I had two totes with me. One of those totes is mostly photographs. The other tote is stuff - paper products, knickknacks, craft supplies, etc. I did a first pass on Wednesday and organized it, but I'd like to get the rest of that tote put away/dealt with. The tote with the photographs is a longer project, but it does remind me that maybe I should put a photograph album or two on my holiday list.

Bonus

6) Write a holiday wish list. Right now, I'm thinking I want a fancy new hair dryer and maybe a flat iron. Maybe.
