I think I officially finished up my Christmas shopping yesterday, thanks to a stop with friends at a nearby store after lunch yesterday. I quickly ran into the grocery store after that before heading back home & ran into a friend who was in my Spin class that morning. I, of course, was still wearing my clothes from that morning, as I still hadn't been home since I left the house at 9:15. I'm sure she was thinking, "It's 2pm... class was at 9:30. Would you go home & take a shower for pete's sake?"
Then last night, one of our guest bedrooms became a workshop. We keep that door locked during this time, so I don't have to find crazy hiding places in the house & then Bryn won't go in there. One day she'll figure out how to unlock the door, but until then it works. Wrapping paper was everywhere... and there may have been a couple wine glasses + a bowl of popcorn on the floor too. I was wrapping gifts on the floor like everyone else in the world. I only play a professional wrapper on TV! Bob was literally sweating putting together one of Bryn's gifts. Thank goodness I delegated that job to him. I did enough sweating in Spin class yesterday. And, yes, I did eventually take a shower. ;-)
The wrapping is almost done & I'm still waiting for a couple gifts to be delivered via my friendly UPS driver. He knows me so well he yells, "Hi Deana!" when he sees me in the grocery store parking lot. Of course he doesn't pronounce my name right, but as long as he brings me the goods I don't care. Did I mention I like to shop online? LOL
Bryn's last day of school is tomorrow & her Christmas Winter party is tomorrow afternoon. I still need to get that ornament craft ready to go. Adding that to the list of things making my head spin right now. I know I'm in good company though, aren't I?
If you consider me good company! Yikes! I'm spinning, too... :) Enjoy your holidays!

LOL! You were wrapping on the floor even though you have that awesome wrapping station? You crack me up!
I still need to start shopping! Online shopping would have been a good idea for me this year. Oh well.
I'm curious--how DOES the UPS man say your name?
