Heh. I have a hard time throwing away shoe boxes too, Erin. Though I do put them to use holding all of Emmett's tiny little toy pieces.

The status is NOT quo.
ND and I have parted ways *sniff* since he is catching a Delta flight back to CA, whereas I am getting on the cattle cartaking a Southwest flight to Tucson to meet up with my family for Christmas. Alas, we are in separate terminals and therefore on separate Hertz shuttles. Vacation was fun, though, and I'm looking forward to seeing my mom, gram, aunt, uncle, and little cousin. I wish I could see my dad too, but maybe he'll come visit soon.

I bought some orange and cinnamon lotion yesterday from Bath and Body Works. I just used it and it smells YUMMY!

I... think I'm pretty much done Christmas shopping. I have a couple little things to pick up, but I know what and where they are, so the "Oh, man, what am I going to get for [insert name of hard to buy for person]," phase of shopping is over. Yay! I'm pretty happy with my selections this year; I think people will be pleased. And I know they'll fake it well if not, so.. yay, again!
Oh. I do still have to go grocery shopping. Well, again, I know where and what I'm getting, so...
It's unseasonably warm and gorgeous out today. Don't even need a coat. I kind of like it this way.

Oh, I smelled that the other day, and it was delish! I'm thinking about getting some for my mom, cause she used to drink a lot of orange&spice tea, and everytime I was ill, she owuld make me milky O&S tea.
Huh, I am getting my dad Scottish breakfast tea for Xmas, and decaf Earl Grey for my sis. I think I WILL get the lotion for mom, and I will have a themed Xmas! (The theme is "I went to jail, I'm fucking broke as fuck, I love you, here is tea-stuff.")
I have CLEANED the whole closet o' doom!!! TWo giant bags of crap (including shoes I haven't worn for years) in the trash, and I found my hanging shoe storage thingie on the bottom, hung it up, and installed all of my shoes therein, which has freed about 6 sq. feet of floor pace from the front of my living room, which I laughingly call my "foyer."
Now it looks all...open and shit. It's creeping me out.

Nice work, Erin. Yeah, whenever I have a bunch of new space from cleaning, it weirds me out a little. This is not a problem I've had lately.

Thrive to spite them
I just got back from Xmas shopping. I wasn't sure if my family secret giftee has pierced ears so I got this really pretty pendant with real flowers.
Then Dad calls and tells me that my secret giftee is really my almost 9 yr old second cousin-ish (he's my first cousin's kid) who is a boy, which throws a wrench into things. If this were his twin sister I would be fine. However, Dad said he has to go out and buy something and he thought of a good present my little cousin likes to read so Dad is going to pick up a Hardy Boys book. I think that's in the right age range.
Now I have to make a pile of Xmas gifts to return.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Piltdown Man's left femur...Socrate's diary...and 12 oz. of weapon's-grade plutonium.
I was wondering WHERE I left those!
When I wrap Xmas presents, I always put something in the VCR that I've already seen, because that way I don't have to pay close attention, like I would with something new. Silly me, I put in the 6-hour (maybe 8?) BBC miniseries of The Buccaneers, and it's sucked me right in.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
TCG and I have been baking all day. So far we have made peppermint bark, brownies, and chocolate covered oreos. I am so disorganized that at one point I put the wax paper in the refrigerator. Next year I will not leave everything until the last minute. Of course, I say that every year.
Erin, you are brave to tackle that closet. I have moved twice in the past five years and I still have a junk closet filled with who knows what.

I think this means that my sanity, my favorite MAC lipstick and my emergency stash of Xanax are in a closet of yours, Tep, cause I can't find 'em anywhere.
(although I'm thinking the sanity and Xanax are a lost cause. I'm not giving up on the lipstick though -- it's discontinued, and the most important of the 3.)
