I cannot believe Christmas is 6 days away. But we are in pretty good shape, I think! We have 99.9% of the shopping done (just a few stocking stuffers needed) and gifts to those far away have been sent (yay!). And there is mostly just the wrapping to do … and maybe some cooking.
Speaking of Christmas, I thought I mailed out the bulk of my Christmas cards around the 11th, but somehow the final “send them” order never got processed, so they just got sent out yesterday (or maybe today). They will be on time, but I felt like a bit of an idiot for screwing it up.
We are waiting to hear on my car still. When Matt called them on Wednesday (day 4 of the 3-5 day estimate) they were up to $15K and they hadn't even gotten into the engine compartment. That was just sheet metal and airbags. My fervent hope is that they total it because I really doubt they can fix it “good as new” plus I don't even want to think about how long fixing it could take. So keep your fingers crossed for me on that!
The plans for this weekend are pretty mellow compared to the last couple. Today after work I will be going to lunch with my mom and grandma and Miss Tabby and then my mom and Tabby and I are going to do a bit of shopping. Tomorrow, my sister and I are going to do minimal shopping and finish up just a couple of things and then get to wrapping. Sunday I've got dillusions of cleaning up the house, doing grocery shopping and laundry. I could definitely use some peaceful time at home.
And this week starts my three short weeks at work … 2.5 days next week, 2 days the week after that and 3 the following. Nice, eh? I cannot wait!! Hope your holiday season is going well … don't over do it on the eggnog. 
I know 6 days only!
Good luck with your car. We still have not gotten ours back. It's ridiculous!
This year's Christmas is easy. Everyone agreed only for Olivia; since our budget is tight.
I only have two days next week. So just one short week for me. Bah.
I will deifnitely cross my fingers about your car. What a hassle.
I hope you find some time to relax this weekend. Growing a human being is hard work!
The countdown begins…
Things are better here. I am almost ready.
Where do you get Christmas cards? They are so great
Merry Christmas! (in case I don't get around to saying it next week)
I hope you get a new car too. Unfortunately, I've had car wrecks go both ways. I totalled Greg's car right before we got married. They towed it away, we got money, bought a new car, easy. My mom wrecked my car right after Jackson was born. $17k in damages, 2+ months getting fixed, $2k in car rental expenses. Pain in the butt. I love my car, glad we still have it, but it would've been so much easier just to get a new one!
