Sunday Post/Sunday Salon - December 22: Merry Merry, Happy Happy

I'm enjoying a tiny bit of holiday time with family today. Unfortunately, my work schedule gives me Christmas Eve & Christmas Day and then New Years Day off (from an office Monday - Friday schedule). Oh, but I worked yesterday to try and get stuff a lil manageable for due dates with only three working days next week. Ugh. Luckily I don't hate what I do. I think tomorrow will literally be the worst - we'll have a Monday of intakes after two days off, and a Friday of sends since we need to send stuff due Dec 23, Dec 24, and Dec 25. Oh well.

I'm taking a break from the chaos to join in for Sunday Post with the Caffeinated Reviewer, and Sunday Salon with Readerbuzz. 

What I'm reading this week:

I'm really enjoying December Dread and This Book Won't Burn. Also a great mix for me - a cozy killer mystery as I go to sleep, and a rage-inducing social justice story the rest of the time. Life is good.

Three Good Things:

1. My kids are awesome. There is no way I'll get all the things I want to done in time for their Christmas, but they'll be fine. They're actually my biggest helps, too.
2. Two days off this week - obvs!
3. Plans this weekend. Hubs and I are going out with another couple on Friday, and then Saturday is his high school band reunion. Should be fun!

Three Goals for this week/month/whatever:

1. I'm really hoping to get the wrapping done during the day on Christmas Eve instead of late into the evening. 
2. Still to come today, I'll get some cookies baked after our family trip to the mall. I give the kids money to get presents for hubs and I, and then hubs and I just hang out in a bar or the food court and let them loose to shop. I'm also planning to do several loads of laundry so we're good for the week. Then, cookies. But not staying up too late since I have work in the morning.
3. I want to finish the two books I'm reading this week so I can start new ones. I won't make my Goodreads goal for the year, but I'm fine with that. Just want to finish these two and maybe one more before New Years :)
