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.

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

Z is like for Zodiac

Shelly and I went to the movie Zodiac last night. The theater was nearly packed with mostly men and couples, so it was a bit obvious when two teenage girls talking on cell phones walked into the movie 20 minutes late. Shelly turned to me, "Why would you even come to a movie like this if you are 20 minutes late?"

You just had to know they were going to be lost the rest of the movie, plus the only reason they were probably there was to see Jake Gyllenhaal . The movie was very good, one of the best I have seen since The Departed , I read the book and the prime suspect was much creepier on the screen than I imagined in real life. At the end of the movie, Shelly stopped by the ladies room and I waited outside. The two teenage girls we saw walk in late also went to the ladies room with cell phones glued to their ears already.
