Good days!

Okay, it's time for me to brag:

I basically did schoolwork for the last three days straight. At the same time, I've mostly been keeping up with the housework and still allowing some social interaction with awesome people like my sister in law who doesn't mind spending an entire afternoon at Forza with me while I do homework (thanks Angela!).

Today I feel:

• Confident! I know that today I actually have the time to get my to-do list done. Unlike last week where every day I ran out of time.
• Excited. We're getting a tree today! We bought a "starter set" of cheap ornaments and plan to add to our each year with buying just a few nice ornaments, especially as the cheap ones break because I drop them.
• Relaxed. For once, the homework I will do today is not due today. (hah! do today, due today. I love words!) So I have the luxury of actually taking the time to learn instead of just trying to get a passing grade with the assignment, which is what I've been doing this last week and hating myself for it.

Do any of you have a good idea for mulled wine? Joe and I don't particularly like wine, but I know at least becca and Candice do, and maybe Angela a little more than me. We want to give a mulled wine kit to some of our relatives at christmas (on the Mull side, ahahaha). The kit will just be a bottle of wine, some spices in a cloth bag, and instructions. I need to know:

• Do you like mulled wine? Is it something that people generally like?
• Have you ever made it? How did it turn out? What recipe did you use?
• What is a good kind of wine to use?

Thank you! You ladies are so much more cultured than I am!
