All of my gifts are wrapped, but my house is a wreck, and I HATE coming home to a dirty house. So tonight I think is the dishes and last load of laundry (I leave the house at 8:40 and I won't get back until around 9:30pm) and tomorrow morning I can pack. I just found out I'm supposed to be going to my boss' mom's house tomorrow night after work, but yeah. That's not happening. I kinda can't wait to be on a plane where I don't have to think or answer the phone for about 2 and a half hours.

It's my favorite part (other than the turtle) and they weren't lit up. I wonder if something happened to them during the storm. I finished wrapping the last gifts last night. At 10 pm, Linnie and I baked 2 dozen sugar cookies and 1 dozen gingerbread men. It's kind of fun/weird to have dough in the fridge and be able to just make up a few at a time. I might make a few more today to take out to my SIL's tomorrow. I also have to make cinnamon rolls late tonight. I might make some other treat today, just for fun. I invited my friend over today. Her MIL is staying with them for 10 days and has already made her feel awful. I thought maybe I'd let her excape over here if she needs to.

I'd call that productive!! I'm done. Knitted up a last minute gift start to finish yesterday, got up in the wee hours of this morning to finish a family of stuffed animals I was sewing. Wrapped and ready. Bring it on!
