Two weeks from now, we’ll be in Manila.  Yipee!  So, along with the mini- birthday party we’re preparing for our daughter this week, I’m also busy with our holiday-related tasks.  What’s left outstanding are:

1.  Hunt for peach ballet shoes that she’ll wear with her gown in her first ever flower girl stint in Manila.

2.  Buy snacks and new toys for the actual trip.  Having new toys and snacks to keep our daughter busy throughout the flight are so helpful!

3.  Transfer files from my Dell laptop to my ibook.  I’m halfway done on this.

4.  A few more Christmas gifts to buy.  Now I have only 6 left on my list. Whew!

5.  Pack.

It really is crunch time for me.
