For today's plans....

I think I'll do some baking today. I have a few people I've promised to deliver cookies to, and today seems like it's going to be a slightly cooler day than what we've had lately. It seems like a good day for baking! I think I'll also try to finish cleaning my room (Ha. That's what I say. Lets see if it actually gets done...), and maybe I'll start drafting my doublet bodice pattern. I may not have a sewing machine to work with right now, but I can at least have the pattern ready...
I know at some point today my mom and I have to run to Braidwood and drop things off at the library and go grocery shopping, and we need to drop some things off at our storage unit. My grandma had willed all of her Hallmark Christmas ornaments to my mom and Aunt Kathy, so we went over to my aunt's house yesterday to sort through the ornaments and see who gets what. Now we have a LOT of ornaments. Because we didn't already have too many for our tree.... So, we'll be putting those in the storage unit today.
We also have several ornaments that we already have, so I'll put them in storage for my Christmas tree someday.
Besides the ornaments, my aunt also had a box of other things to go to us. There was a jewelry box my mom had been wanting, my grandma's sewing basket, some jewelry, but most importantly of all is a ring we found in a little Avon box. My mom thinks it may be the ring she had on for her wedding. It was her something old, something borrowed, and something blue. It belonged to her great-grandmother!
Oh, and while we were at my aunt's house going through these things, I managed to convince her I hadn't seen her son's wedding pictures that were on her computer, so she let me go look through them. My plan was to update her Facebook status (every time family comes to her house they manage to update her Facebook for her) while she was in the living room, but her and my Mom followed me into the bedroom. I somehow still managed to update her status with her in the room, and she never noticed! I was happy. It's been my goal to update her status for a while now. I've finally succeeded.
