All said and done, I had essentially NO presents on Friday and need THREE right now (all of which I know what and where I need to get them!!)
I am feeling good (besides my throbbing legs) and ready for Christmas.

I wish I had the patience for normal Christmas shopping. Instead I go during totally off hours (9pm on Sunday night) so there's no one to bother me. As long as I get it done, right? Oh, and I'll be in Schaumberg soon...going to Ikea though. Maybe I'll have to have lunch at the Cheesecake Factory too. Love it there!
