Dec. 22nd, 2011 11:32 pmI finally finished all my presents shopping. I needed a little more for Bear’s parents so Mama and I took a walk to Home Goods this morning. I think I’m done. I wrapped all the presents tonight. Not the best wrapping job I ever did, but it is all finally done. As usual, I split Bear’s presents in two – part for Christmas and part for New Year.
Tomorrow is Mama’s birthday and Papa smuggled flowers home his evening. Once Mama went to sleep I snuck them from downstairs and put them in a vase in the kitchen. I’m not a florist – I’m sure all those roses can look prettier. Ah, well. I did put all the presents under the tree for her for tomorrow. We are all set. I’m just glad that she specifically asked for the hand crème again. She is not easy to shop for. I did get the first Adele CD too, though, as a surprise. And Papa already got her a ring that she picked out but he is also surprising her with a CD and a ceramic frog. Hopefully, she’ll be happy.
My neighbor Laura needed me to proofread her final paper for her nursing Masters. It was a mock grant proposal and a revision of one too. So I went over her house for a while. After proofing, I ate way too much food there. (David made a lot of good food like rice and eggplant and it was a huge plate – and it is rude not to finish the plate. The food was really good, just too much of it.) Then I played dreidel with the kids for some candy.
Tomorrow is Mama’s birthday, then Christmas Eve where Bear and I are making seafood lasagna, then Christmas with its dinner – I really need to be careful not to each so much. It will probably be futile.
