evaelisabethI'm almost finished shopping for Yule, the only things left to do are wrapping paper and my parent's present which will be perishable so I will have to get the it at the very last moment. Lights and trees are up all around town and there are groups of school kids caroling and collecting for charity on Grafton Street.
Last night I went to a Business School shindig at the Provost's House (that's actually it's official name), the room we were in was built over 200 years ago and was a rococo nightmare of stucko (very impressive all the same). The thing that really got me was the original oil painting of HRM Queen Elisabeth 1 who is the founder of the college. This place is never going to go broke with all the vaulable artwork and stuff they have lying around here and there. Unfortunately I did not get to see my girl all day because of getting home late.
I pretty much finished the cardigan for K, now I need buttons, I wish I had bought them in the states because things like this are not quite as available here as they are there. I have one more store to check for bright green plastic buttons and then I'm going to have to hit up someone in MN to go to Jo-Annes and stick some in an envelope for me. I hope I find something because I would love for her to wear it for the Yule celebration.
FYI if you are expecting a card from us this year, I have them but they are not mailed yet so they might be a little late in getting there.
