You might hate me...just a little

...when you're finished reading this post. "How could I ever hate Sarah, even a little!?" you ask shocked. Well, it's because I am done with my Christmas shopping! Yep, you read right. In fact all of my presents were bought by 12:40pm this afternoon and now, they are all sitting in my guest room....wrapped!...with color coordinated bows!... and gift tags! Oh what a wondrous thing!

Here's how it went down. Now, consider yourself warned...this kind of shopping is not for the faint of heart. It takes skill, it takes organization...it takes planning baby! This morning was like a finely tuned military operation. The list was made detailing what present would be bought for each person. Then it was decided which stores said presents would be purchased at. Driving routes in town were taken into consideration so as not to have to make any left hand turns and in order to help avoid the most congested areas as much as possible. Then, a plan for which stores would be visited in what order (I'm not kidding people. I wrote this down!) was put in place. And the result, out the door by 8:30 am, in and out of stores efficiently before the large crowds began to swarm, and all of my shopping done, with a pumkin latte from Dunkin' Donuts in hand by 12:40 pm.

It was a beautiful thing. I even had time to visit a friend, wrap all my presents (btw I LOVE wrapping presents a ridiculous, perhaps even unhealthy, amount! If you have anything you want wrapped, give me a ring, you'll make my day!) and bathe and groom my dog! Now I'm gonna relax, visit with Jason's family tomorrow afternoon and enjoy my Monday off!
