You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
I'd bet folding money on Tuesday being when they would tell you it hasn't shipped yet, but will be at your sister's by New Year's.

Exactly, Matt! So irksome. Especially because this is a gift for a kid, I don't want to be like 'Uh, I got you a present but it's not here yet?" AND it's freakin' annoying to have to (a) spend extra money to ship it after the holidays, and (b) GO to the post office!!

I have basically nothing to eat in the house, and I don't feel like going to the store now. This is the problem with winter -- 5pm is a perfectly reasonable time to grocery shop, but now it's dark out and and I'm cozy inside! Solstice tomorrow!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hooray solstice! I am so ready.
Got my packages mailed and they will supposedly arrive before Xmas. Picked up an eggnog latte and a peppermint mocha cake pop as my reward. Not loving the latte, but glad I tried it I suppose. My barista did not give me my receipt with a new code to see if I won anything, boo.
Also plugged in the heated cat bed that Amazon suggested I might be interested in and put it in a spot where I have seen my 15-year old Jadzia sleeping. Maybe she will like it. She never took to the fleece cubbyhole I got for her. If she doesn't, I will move it to one of Pixie's spots, I know she likes heated things to sleep on.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
"Just a few errands" turned into "4-hour retail blitz involving both Costco and Target". On the plus side, don't plan to do any more. Also, I managed not get LDB'ed, and since I'm totally determined not to go near any kind of retail establishment for the next week, I may be in the clear.
(And with that, someone's probably going to drive by blasting it really loud now.)

I've completed all my Christmas wrapping except for a few cards and putting a bow on the lamp I'm giving my parents. Also, managed to get cards in the mail for relatives I won't see in person.

I found some hummus and pita chips in a cupboard with an expiration date this month, so there's dinner!
I guess I could do some wrapping, but I like to save it until the last minute, for some reason...

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I got all the wrapping done today! (Except for a bottle of wine for my stepdad, because I haven't bought it yet, but that's not so much "wrapping" as "plunking in a wine bag under the pretense that it's wrapped.") I haven't had everything wrapped this early in years. I feel like I'm inviting trouble.
Finished the cards earlier this week. Now all I have to do is make cookies and fudge tomorrow and then all the prep is done (until actual cooking for the Christmas Day meal).
