19 days 'til Christmas

i spent about 4 hours shopping on saturday.... and i still don't have my christmas shopping finished. you know why? because most of the shopping i did was for myself. that's the christmas spirit, eh? i got a few stocking stuffer things for a few people, but nothing that would be considered a "real" gift. oh well. i got some GREAT things for me, myself, and i. :) i bought some new flavors at victoria's secret.... AND they were giving a free gift to purchases over $50. i bought 3 extra things just so i could have the free gift. I HEART FREE GIFTS. i will spend an extra $100 just to get them. i am such a sucker. the rest of the weekend was spent wrapping 5 lb boxes of russell stover chocolates. this takes will power, people. i was hungry, AND i'm PMSing.... so, some chocolate sounded pretty darned good. my sister's company packages these presents for their customers, and there were 120 packages to wrap. and not just wrap.... we have to make them all fancy, so there's a lot of hot glue, ribbons, holly berries, and pine cones involved. anyway, i stuck it out, and just ended up crying all evening watching the made-for-tv movie, "the 5 people you meet in heaven." good Lord, did anyone see this? it was on ABC last night, and now i am going to read the book. the movie was excellent, so i am sure the book will be 500% better. this is a short week for me. i am leaving at noon wednesday, and will be off on thursday and friday. i might have a lot to report come next week, but only time will tell. happy monday!
