Day 127

And we’re into December and only 23 days to shop. Or in my case 22 days to procrastinate :)

Actually this year I am ordering all the presents for my nephews and niece online. I’m not a fan of crowds at stores. I like to take my time and look around, not be rushed, and not have people in my way.

All in all I’m looking forward to the Christmas. I get to spend a lot of time with my family – and I’m taking the dog and two cats with me. The kitties are going to the vet this week to get their shots updated – and then next week they get spayed, and hopefully a prescription for something to make them quiet sleepy kitties for the car ride. The only bad thing about going home for the holidays and not have Aaron with me is that I will be banished to the little room and the twin sized bed. Which may mean the dog will wonder around and look for better sleeping accommodations in one of the other rooms instead of sleeping on his mat in my room. Silly dog – thinking he’s a people and needs to sleep in a bed.

So the rest of Turkey Day weekend went well. I traveled to Aaron’s parents house to visit with his family. We ate, we chatted and we played Wii (something I am not too good at but I’m still going to put it on my Christmas list). They also gave me strange looks as I doted on my dog, and wrapped the 65 pound lap dog in his blanky, and had a one sided conversation with him, and tucked him in at night. I think I may need to find more people to talk to so I don’t look so much like the crazy person.

Aaron made his usual call this weekend, but instead of just calling me he called his parents house. His parents and all of his siblings got a chance to talk too – which I think they all really enjoyed. It sounded like he had a pleasant Thanksgiving and even sent us some photos of the spread they dined on.

273 days to go.
