Almost done

If you don't read my friend Kimberly's blog (the link to it is over there on the right), you should. She is very funny and quite a talented writer. Too bad she doesn't post more often, but she's in law school and working. I suppose that doesn't leave too much time for writing witty blog posts.

I think, hope, pray that I am done shopping. I just need to go to the post office tomorrow to mail two packages -- yes, I know they won't arrive by Christmas, but I don't care. Again, like the Christmas cards, as long as they are in the mail BEFORE Christmas, that counts as if they arrive by Christmas.

The cards will be in the mail tomorrow. I didn't get stamps until after the postman came today. He didn't ring twice, he didn't even ring once...tomorrow, one way or the other, I will complete my postal obligations.

It is my intention to not step foot inside another store after tomorrow. I will cook the Christmas turkey with whatever ingredients I have on hand. I tried to get everything I needed, but I could not find the fresh herbs I needed. I will use dried or nothing.

Tomorrow will also involve a walk along the Portland waterfront. I am hopeful that it will not be raining. I understand that is not realistic, but I am hopeful. The dog will be happy to go either way. He lives to take a ride in the car. I may freeze because the windows are down, but he is in hog heaven. The things we do...

I think Wednesday needs to be a Christmas movie marathon day. Either on DVD, VHS or TV. I have yet to watch 'Holiday Inn' and 'A Christmas Story.' I am not as enamored of 'It's a Wonderful Life' as others, but I will watch it as it is a 'classic' that should not be ignored.

On Christmas day we plan to go see 'Sherlock Holmes.' I am so pleased that Robert Downey Jr. seems to have straightened out his life. I think he's a great actor and he's cute, to boot! I'll post a short review after we see it.

Appears that the Giants have this game locked up. I will miss football when it's over but it does take up a lot of time!

21 of 30 down. We're into single digits - anything is possible, now!
