chore-filled weekend
I've put them off long enough. Sometime over the weekend I will have to do a lot of chores.
• Laundry. I've stretched things out after continual procrastination, but I'm down to clothes that I can't really wear to work -- jeans with holes, sweats, t-shirts. I must have about 6 to 8 loads here. I'll do 4, probably on Saturday afternoon/early evening, then try to set another time later in the week.
• Dishes. I'm at the point where I almost want to just go out and buy a cheap new set of silverware and other things, rather than wash all the dishes. LOL ... how sad and bacheloresque is that?
• Grocery shopping. After a week of mostly fast food and takeout, I really need to restock the larder, including more fruit and salads and stuff, to make sure my weight and clothing sizes don't start going the other way.
• Clean the clubs. OK, this at least is a happy chore, because it means I'll be getting my golf clubs ready for a round on Sunday. Will be playing with S and my godson, but also two other co-workers, C and M. Should be a good time.
• Bathroom scrubbing. I did manage to clean the toilet earlier in the week, but I need to do the tub, shower and sink, and mop the floor.
• Sweeping. Need to get the old broom out and clean up ... and eventually mop, I suppose.
• Mail a package or two. Got some stuff that's been sitting here; got to get them packaged and shipped out.
• Start holiday stuff. Look for Christmas cards, fill my wrapping stock, make my list for shopping purposes.
Speaking of that, so far, I will be sending out an additional 4 Christmas cards to bloggers this year. There's still time if you want a holiday greeting card from Guam. Simply send me an e-mail with the snail mail address of your choice (work, home, p.o. box, etc.). There's still about 3-4 weeks left before I send them out, so I will post the occasional reminder.

holiday decadence ...
The treat I most associate with the Christmas holidays isn't candy canes. Nor is it sugarplums (whatever the hell they are) or gumdrops.
Nope.
It's fudge.
My mom always made fudge around the holidays ... it's a great winter treat because it keeps better in the cold. In fact, before refrigeration, it's about he only time you could make it, get it to set and stay unmelted for any length of time.
My mom's fudge rocks. I've had some that were as good, and loved those fudge places at the malls where you could see them make it on the big marble slabs, using modified snow shovels.
As your Early HNT from Guam treat (albeit late), here's me indulging in the first fudge of the season (store-bought gift from a friend, but you take what you can get).
