another glorious morning to sleep late, have a bowl of special k red berries, and read the paper. the only downside to this being-at-home morning routine i’ve found is that mom doesn’t buy caffeinated coffee anymore. i’ve added it to the grocery list.
katie and i headed out just after noon to run a few final christmas errands. next thing we knew it was 4:30! we went to, let’s see, omega sports, great outdoor provisions, dillard’s, godiva, hecht’s, wal-mart, omega sports again (but a different location), the gap, hand picked, barnes and noble, wal-mart again, rackroom shoes, michael’s, and wal-mart a third time (developing pictures was the reason for the three wal-mart stops). whew!! what a day of shopping. but we got everything done, and have no more shopping to do for anyone (well, at least not anyone in the family), so that’s excellent. we watched the second half of all three overtimes in the unc-wake forest game (which carolina lost, unfortunately), and went with mom to a holiday party at her teaching assistant kim’s house. it was nice, and there were so many desserts that i had to really exercise some major willpower to keep from stuffing myself with fudge, pie, and cookies. the fudge was excellent. i looooove fudge.
it has been freaking cold all day. i can’t deal with cold anymore. it’s very sad and pathetic. i’ve been cold pretty much constantly since i got home wednesday night.
