the bees in my bonnet today

  • to find a place offering private sleigh rides (silver bells on the sleigh a must) through a guaranteed snowy, but not dark and spooky, forest. it's nothing personal but i just can't see sharing my horse drawn sleigh with 10 other coughing people. and finding guaranteed snow in sunny California isn't exactly straight forward ;) special thanks to today's groupon for my latest obsession...
  • to make these cute candy canes and snowflakes from nothing but printer paper, red markers and berry baskets (must buy berries first... since the invention of thintervention, i have been deathly afraid of the sugar grams found in berries :)
  • to make lots of origami snowflakes out of more printer paper
  • to find a little vacation rental by Sequoia National Park (for that looks the most likely location offering adorable sleigh rides) that looks more like this one

  • and less like this one (this is a real vacation rental ;)

  • to put actual christmas music on my iphone. the downward spiral has been playing on a continuous loop since May, and while i love it dearly... it's admittedly not very festive :)
  • to find a suitable little lipbalm/aleve/camera-toting backpack for tomorrow's jaunt to Knotts Berry Farm :) oh yes, we're going to get our value for money out of those passes:)
  • to stop the entire country of Brazil from viewing my blog - it's nothing personal, Brazil ;)
  • to buy eggs... must be free range and brown and speckled (i so need my own happy brown-speckled-egg-laying chickens)
  • to survive the next two hours with no car (our car is getting new fuel injectors and we couldn't be bothered to go and pick it up... now i realize why we need two cars after all- to go places!! ;) how did people do it in the olden days??! i need chickens. and a golf cart for such grocery-needing emergencies :|
  • to get all these potential dead letter office christmas cards off my desk. so many squiffy digits in zip codes and post codes to decipher and double check....
  • to figure out why walking the dogs makes me so darned sick?? it's most peculiar and makes life very difficult for the dogs (i have to beg them to please not poop... because picking up poop would be a complete DISASTER!!! i can't go into a shoe store without throwing up from the awful smell, dog poop is rubber soles times ten million to my delicate olfactory senses....)
  • to research, on a map, all these mountain locations of Jensen's to find if any are remotely close to Big Bear...? i love checking out new grocery stores (and i am not afraid to admit it;) and Jensen's has been on my list for a while now (piggly wiggly=f-o-r-e-v-e-r-!-!)
  • to print new pictures for the den - i just don't think 32 x 24 is remotely big enough... the couch is like 12 feet long....
back later xoxox
