If another person asks me if I am done Xmas shopping...

I am going to scream. I have to scream because if I don't I will cry. 

The answer is: NO

Can't remember the last time I was this discombobulated. 

Oh, and I need to go to Houston two days next week. Might be able to pick up some stocking stuffers at the airport.

How does this time of year sneak up on us?! Don't fret...hit the gift shop in Houston and see what happens. I understand your chaos if it helps at all!!

By the way, discombobulated is one of my favorite words :))

I hear you, sister! For the life of me, I cannot get my act together this year. I'm so stinking busy writing Surviving Christmas columns that I'm never going to get my own crap done.

Can I send a list for your airport shopping???

Susan, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!! I have decided to go the online route and skip the malls this year. Now I just need to decide what to get everyone...

See you Saturday!

I just made E give me a hug because I was so frustrated with my first attempt at shopping this year...I can name a thousand things that I want, but no one else is throwing me a bone...
What do YOU want? (I'm curious on if that Kindle's going to show up in your stocking).

Glad to hear I am not alone. I was feeling really unproductive - thinking that the online thing is the way to go, that and the airport.

Karen - let me know how many Houston snow globes you need.

50 is the new 40

There is hope - I realized today that Madonna is going to be 50 in like 3 months - crazy. 50. Have you seen her lately? She looks amazing and is proof that 50 is the new 40 or in her case 35. Here is her most recent song w/Justin Timberlake, 4 Minutes. Not gonna win a Grammy, but makes me want to start doing yoga, I would give anything for arms like that.

Gainfully employed

I heard back last night from Cargill , I start back into the world of the gainfully employed as an independent contractor on October 8 th . My old client, who will now be my new client, Jeff wrote: I'm thrilled we get to work together again. This is the most important project our business unit has taken on in a lot of years so I feel a lot better knowing you're going to be part of it. OK now I'm nervous. Eeek - the most important project? Whoa, better bring the A game, but you know I am excited - scared - but am ready to go. I have so much to do before the 8 th , gotta get the list together to make the most of my kid free week (now that litte man is at daycare in the a.m.). Let's see: 1) Paint basement. 2) Purge house of clutter - how can we accumulate this much crap? 3) Goodwill and library drop off - Maple Grove Library is taking donations until Oct. 6 th !!! 4) Get the yard ready for winter - should I plant more bulbs? 5) Put basement back together - IKEA run ma

Pleased as punch

We got our new vacuum cleaner last night. The home office was kind enough to pick one up along with our PF Chang's takeout. Take out Chinese on Valentine's is a tradition. Anyhoo, as you can see from the photo we basically sucked up an entire Pomeranian in our upstairs family room. I don't know if I should be embarrassed or pleased. I mean we just vacuumed on Monday with the Hoover and I knew it wasn't picking up everything, but this is ridiculous. The home office was so impressed with the Animal he went downstairs and vacuumed up another canine in the family room down there. I am still trying to figure out all of the gadgets on the machine. I seriously cannot figure out how to attach the stair cleaner. It is really funky how the thing is put together, efficient, but funky. I also for the life of me cannot figure out the directions. I dislike how all European companies, Dyson (UK), IKEA (Sweden) just show you pictures. I always thought I was a visual person, but I am b
