I have a suspicion that today is going to be a very, very good day.

(I woke up at 6:30 and had to spend fifteen minutes figuring out a) what day is it, and b) do I have to go to work; the day began a strong upward trend when I realized that the answers were a) Saturday, and b) no.)

On the agenda for today:

- send off rest of family for a day spent at the Pea Ridge civil war battle site, leaving me here all by my lonesome, oh no, what shall I do, the horror, etc.
- wash car
- wrap Christmas presents
- eat bacon
- try out some of the 40-odd new beauty products I was gifted with last night
- finish transfering the notes from ruthette's copy of Beowulf into mine (Ah, Seamus Heaney, thank you for being our consolation when we hear of the abomination that is movie-Beowulf)
- curl up and read, read, read (These Old Shades, for one, what glory!)
- make a pot of coffee and drink alternating cups of coffee-with-gingerbread-flavored-creamer and coffee-with-peppermint-flavored-creamer
