TGIF, 12/17/10 Edition

We are just a week away from Christmas Eve, can you believe it? There's so many things to look forward to this weekend, including:

• Our holiday celebration. It's happening Saturday and I can't wait to catch up with friends from near and far.
  

• Our long-awaited ottomans. They are ready! Can't wait to show them off next week.
  

Before I can enjoy the weekend, I have an afternoon date with a radiologist:

• It turns out my test on Wednesday was inconclusive, so I'm scheduled for a CAT scan today. I'm nervous, friends, I really am. I'm deluding myself that a CAT scan doesn't involve radiation or an IV, but careful examination by a group of competent feline doctors...

Something tells me, though, that HUP isn't about to hire Dr. Kitty Meowington anytime soon, no matter how good her credentials.

But enough of that! I am excited to share with you details of our party (including my decorations) and the ottoman before-and-after next week.

Stay warm, dear readers.
