I'm not this much of a clutz... or am I?
Ok, so I've been going crazy in preparation for a visit from Robin, on top of the regular Christmas preparations and general office craziness. I mean this all in a good way. I love it. Except possibly the work part, but everything else is just part of the fun of the year. It's a little overwhelming at times, but it's all good. I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. So... anyhoo... last night, I went to KMart to buy an abundance of gift boxes and bags, ribbons and tags, and I was loaded down with packages as I left. I may have been a bit distracted because the nice teenager at the counter was sweet enough to say, as I left, "Have a nice evening, MA'AM." Ouch. I'm not a ma'am. I'm not that old yet. I know it can be a term of respect, but it didn't sound that way. It's like he was rubbing it in... This was all probably going through my head as I made my way to the car, packages overflowing out of my arms. Luckily, I have the little auto-door unlocker thingy, and I had the door of my car unlocked as I approached. But here's the fun part, as I was getting into the car, I smacked my self in the left side of my head with the corner of a giftbox, and I jerked my head away and smacked it against the frame of the car. Ouch. No, really. Ouch. I sat in my car for a few minutes, just holding my head in my hands, to make sure it wasn't going to fall off. For the record, it didn't. Whew. It hurt. A lot. Today, my neck is a little sore and I have a headache. Serves me right. Christmas shopping and everything. Go figure. But I'm really not that much of a clutz... I don't think.

I'm the worst... EVER!
I'm the worst... I admit it... It's been weeks since I blogged. I suck.
I've been busy beyond belief. I know you all feel my pain, and I'm just looking for a little bit of pity here. So, bear with me. The concert season has officially ended. The on-line auction is FINALLY over. We're finishing up on the shipping of stuff. Christmas is coming, and boy is it coming FAST. Yeesh. There's a LOT to do for that, but it will have to wait.
The only thing I care about this week is that my boyfriend is coming for a visit. That's it. It has been FAR too long since I have seen him, and in two, no, make that one and a half short days, he will be here. That's all that matters right now. I plan on being the best girlfriend ever, and taking off work, and doing whatever he wants to do while he's here. We're going to see whatever movie he wants to see, eat wherever he wants to eat, and just hang out and be together. Does that not sound like the best weekend ever or what?
Oh, yeah, and we're getting together for lunch with my family. Yikes. Gulp.
