You know you are jealous....

Because I have all of my Christmas shopping done. Yes, done! I have 2 gift cards left but those do not require anything from me! They are Michael's job! This weekend I will attack the wrapping chore! I will have all of them wrapped and under the tree by Sunday! Guarantee it! =)

We put our tree up Sunday night and let it hang out a day until we decorated it. Our new tree is much larger then our older one. Yikes. We don't have enough ornaments to cover it but that is okay. It's still pretty. Jake is obsessed with the train we bought to go underneath it. He wants to play with it every night, all night long. He just loves holding the remote and making it play songs. He yells at Kinnick or Zoey anytime they get too close. It cracks me up. Hawkeye could care less about the tree. I like him for that. Kinnick hides underneath it because he knows Zoey is not allowed within 5 feet of it. That mutt. I tell ya what. Ugh.

Michael still wants to put some lights up outside. He should have done it earlier this week. The weather this weekend does not look friendly for anything outdoors. Maybe Sunday he can get them up. He also said our wreath is "pathetic". What did you say? I do recall last year that I wanted to buy a new one and he replied "We don't need one, ours is fine". Men. I might wait a few more weeks and then get a new one or just wait till after Christmas. I will have to hit those sales to get some more ornaments to fill up the tree.

I got the question I dislike the most at Christmas yesterday. "Well what do you want for Christmas". I think my mom has my name. I have no clue. I hate getting gifts. I know that sounds weird but I have everything I could need. If I want something particular, I usually just go and buy it. Now I have to think over the weekend. Something I dislike doing also. She wants a list and I have a blank sheet of paper currently. I might put "world peace" as the only thing on the list. I don't think she will find it as funny as I would. I am much better as a gift giver then receiver. That is why I never was a fan of bridal/baby showers. One, I hate all that attention. Two, I feel awkward. Thanks to some lovely friends they not only gave me a surprise baby shower a few weeks ago, but did so in a very public place. I still love them though.

I also have finished 2 out of the 4 scarves that are required for Christmas!! I think I about died of shock on Sunday when I was able to cast off on two of them! I am re-doing one due to a mutt (who will remained nameless) that decided to make one her bed and put a little whole in the middle of it. That one was 75% done too. Oh well. I should be able to finish it this weekend! I might make a few extras for friends so we'll see how ambitious I get.

I will like to report my loser status. I am currently going to bed every night between 7:30 and 8:30. I apologize to the text messages that go unresponsive to until the next day, but I found out that it's my prime time to sleep. On the weekends, it gets pushed a little but oh well. Last week of work starts next week. That in itself is absolutely crazy. I have a few half days next week which will be perfect for napping! I cannot wait!
