I have no stocking stuff. I suck. Oh well, everyone will survive.
I did make sausage, lentil and spinach soup using some sofrito which smells delicious!
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

Kelly and I were in and out of the grocery store without much worry. We did have a very specific list and stuck to it. And we were able to hit the self-check without waiting in a line. I feel like that is a major accomplishment.
Tomorrow - pumpkin pie baking, egg-nog whipping, and green beans to prep. Oh, and some banana bread. I think all shopping is done and all prezzies are wrapped. I'm at a point where I don't wanna spend another dollar until I absolutely, positively have to.

Since we are heading out Christmas Day afternoon for a 2 part roadtrip to family, I am only cooking things that can travel in my igloo cooler for eating at the first stop. I am also packing muffins and general food because the first place we go, we stay at an empty house and I really do not want to eat out every meal.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
So a little before 4:00, one of the secretaries asked why I was still there, since all of them had been told everyone could go home at 1:30.
At least I'm home now! And it looks like I may have beaten the UPS guy here, so I won't have to worry about it tomorrow.

which I cut with cookie cutters I got from Ginger (?)
Yes, I am the cookie cutters.
I made one type of sandwich cookie this year and the dough was miserable. They needed to be thin, but I couldn't get the thin ones from rolling to cookie sheet without their falling to pieces. Those were, of course, everyone's favorites. Maybe I'll try more flour next time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay! I love those cutters, Ginger.
Am almost done wrapping, but took a scone break, and I'm not going to lie, mine are better than my mother's. She works the dough too much and often overcooks.

Oh shit! Yesterday was Onerous Task Day and we forgot.
I observed! I got lots done. I should have come in here and posted about it, but I was busy out doing my Onerous Tasks...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yes, new neighbour, I saw you stall on the stairs so you could see which apartment I went into. YOU ARE NOT SLICK.

Ha HA! I believe everything is wrapped, and I learned that I have a hip-hop remix of Wham's "Last Christmas." Yeah, I don't know. The other day's discovery was "Me and Mrs. Claus," ala "Me and Mrs. Jones." Good times.

OK, seriously -- Mila Kunis is in a movie with Oscar buzz, and Mena Suvari is guest-starring on basic cable? Who would have predicted that ten years ago?
