I haven't started the wrapping yet. That always takes me the longest. I've had one present sitting in the office for a week, waiting for me to buy wrapping paper and wrap them.
I did one part of that today.
Can I mop your brow? I am at the ready with the fearsome brow-mop.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I really hate doing much shopping after Thanksgiving except online. But I do like one or two trips out when it is cold and shops are decorated.
I hope I get done early tomorrow and can head home to cook for mac's teachers. I am making my grandmother's caramels which I have never done before.

I am finding a lot of sales, which is making shopping much more pleasant. I bought a nutcracker for my SiL today. It was marked as $39.99, but had actually been marked down to $24.99, and then it was customer appreciation day, so there was another 20% off. Then Liz Claiborne had 50% off everything in the store, so I bought a sweater for me.

I have also found some great deals. I bought a pearl necklace for my sister on Amazon which was marked down from $70 to $45, and then they had special offers, so I got another $13 off, and then they gave me this as a free gift, which I wouldn't wear, so SA is getting it

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, I think my lazy morning tomorrow (I know it'll happen) will include Amazon shopping. I accidentally bought a Prime membership last spring, so I might as well use it! Also, I will use an affiliate link!

I used it too!
I meant to add that.

Really, I was reminding myself.

It's a good reminder! I frequently have to remind myself too.

Thanks all for the ~ma, especially Glamcookie, beth, Typo Boy, Zenkitty, smonster, Perkins, Cashmere, and ita. I really appreciate it. An update: the wedding went off, mostly without a hitch, and was just beautiful. I mostly was able to compartmentalize, and mostly to have a good time. Now, I've been in my hotel doing a combination of centering, working on my cousin's virtual memorial, and weeping; this, too, is good.
I cannot say how important it was for me to have someone I could tell about this, and how valuable your support is. Thank you all.
