Little wooden mushroom, painted red and white. Glass garlic bulb. These decorations are making me hungry!

It got dark so early today. I went out around 5 and it was really already dark. I guess tomorrow is the shortest day of the year, right? Or Sunday? Coming up, anyway.

I am still pretty stuffy from my cold but it's getting better. I hope it'll be gone (gone!) by the time we leave for Vienna next week.

On the agenda this weekend: pack up a few more small packages (yes, they'll be late), go out to Wal-Mart and pick up tins (must do that first thing tomorrow, or else late tomorrow evening), bake cookies. And other things, none of which are coming to mind at the moment.

The picture in my advent calendar today was a sausage in a roll, with mustard on it. Yum.
