Only 1.5 days of work left. Tomorrow, we’re having our potluck and gift exchange, and we’re all going home after that, so I will likely be able to leave the office around 3pm tomorrow, I’m hoping. That gives me some time to buy CT’s Christmas present, which I was planning to do on Sunday but then the weather changed my plans!
So tomorrow I’m going shopping to get CT’s present, then Saturday, CT and I are going shopping together to finish up our shopping (I imagine the mall will be INSANE, but we have no choice). Then Saturday evening, I need to finish making the presents for Oma and CT’s mom. Then on Sunday afternoon, we’re heading to my parent’s house for Christmas. We’re spending the night there and doing Christmas morning on the morning of the 24th. Then we have dinner with my aunt, uncle, and cousins, and then we go to church at 11pm on the 24th for the candlelight service. Then CT and I get to spend the night at our place and wake up on Christmas Day morning together. Then we head to CT’s parents house for the day on the 25th. Which is only about 45 minutes from us, so it’s not that far to travel at all.
As for the rest of my holidays, I’m sure CT will want to go shopping on the 26th for the boxing day sales, I think I’ll stay home ;) Then the 27th and 28th, I’m going to spend getting my name change done (lots of phone calls to make and places to visit) and preparing my P.Eng. application.
For the 29th to the 1st, I plan on doing not much of anything. It will be fabulous! I have so much work to do when I get back in January, so I will have to make sure I spend some of my time off relaxing because I think I won’t get much relaxing time for the next few months. February and March are our busiest months and January is shaping up to be busy as well.
I am annoyed at the fact that I ordered a Christmas present for Koby (my parents doggie) in November and it still hasn’t arrived yet! Sheesh! It’s coming from the states, so I am guessing it is likely caught up at the border. I guess he won’t really know the difference if he gets it after Christmas, but I thought I was ordering it in plenty of time, but I guess not! I’m still keeping my fingers crossed that it comes either today or tomorrow.

Glad I'm not the only one that buys Christmas presents for my parent's dog (not to mention my kitties)! Hopefully Koby's gift arrives soon.
Have fun shopping this weekend... it will be nuts!
I'm going shopping tomorrow with my brother. Hopefully it won't be too crazy! But we're not going to any major malls, just the outlets I think. :)
Ya, I'm not really looking forward to hitting the mall on Saturday. But, I will make sure we are not rushed, that I'm not hungry (because we all know how I get when I'm hungry), and we have a list of very specific things that we want to get done so we don't miss anything. So hopefully it will be a get in, get done, get out type of thing.
Yeah, I think having a list is a good idea. Minimize the time spent looking at things and all the thinking about what you need to buy.
When you said that about being hungry, all I could think of was The Hulk and his line about "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry". Only for you, it's "You wouldn't like me when I'm hungry!" LOL
heehee, so true!
