Busy Sunday

J and I have had a busy day today. He had to go into work this morning for a couple of hours, so while he was gone, I played the Sims and did laundry, made the bed and just generally picked up a little. I'm a good multi-tasker. :) Once he came home, he started hanging up Christmas lights outside, while I continued to do laundry and play the Sims, then did the dishes and made up a batch of sugar cookie dough. Yum. I can't bake them until 6:00 (it has to refrigerate for at least three hours), but they're going to be yummy, I can tell. I'm thinking of making frosting to put on them, too. I LOVE frosted sugar cookies.

While I was in the kitchen working on the cookie dough, J surprised me by bringing down the Christmas tree and putting it together, then putting the lights on it. Yay! Christmas has officially hit our house now! We also hung more decorations around the inside. All that remains, really, is to put the decorations on the tree and the garland on the stair railing, but we're both tired, so we'll do that another day.

And! We bought a pumpkin pie pumpkin before Halloween, and it's still sitting in the kitchen - I had no idea what to do with it. It's still firm and I guess still good, so I found directions online for how to cook it, and I'm going to make homemade pumpkin bread from it! I love pumpkin bread, so I can't wait. I hope it comes out okay. I've never made it with fresh pumpkin before.

And now I'm going to go back to my game until we go out - we're going to go get dinner somewhere fast-foody, which is fine with me. Happy Sunday, everybody!
