Damn the holidays
Ok just realized this past weekend, that one of my favorite holidays is about a month away. Am I prepared?? HELL NO! Not even close. Next weekend the tree needs to be put up, but the landlord has to lay down trim, so what's the point if he's going to do that. Still haven't moved back all my crap to the living room for the nice new carpet we got.
So in terms of gifts, only grandma's is done. Parents are started. Well, one of mine, and one of peters. So now what? I hate shopping late. And last year, everything went so well and there is so much to live up to. Not to mention this year I'm doing Christmas Eve dinner with all the food. Ham, Turkey, stuffing, taters...oh god.
Normally by now I'm good to go. But damn time....creeping up on me. Sneaky Sneaky time.

tell me about it. I usually have xmas shopping done by October, but with all the weddings this summer, never got around to it.
Mucho kudos to cooking all that food. I refuse to cook. Absolutely refuse. :)
haha i love it. i've turned into such a home person...i like italian food the best. mmm, garlic. well i've managed to get about 1/3rd done :) yeah online shopping.
holy cow, you're ambitious. my mom might let me help with the potatoes or something like that, but she won't let me touch anything else. my brother and I usually go Christmas shopping when we're home from school, which gives us like a week. heheheh.
I would love to do that...but i have a pretty big extended family and now peter's. holy cow!! I just like to be done early, as opposed to my parent's christmas eve shopping. so last minute.
okay... keep your fingers crossed that my mother doesn't suddenly decide I should develop homemaker traits. :)
how did the food turn out?
haha, oh i'm doing it for christmas eve, so i still have time. but i did watch queer eye and i'm going to brine my turkey this year....which is soaking it, so it will be very tender. and i get to use bourbon. love using alcohol for cooking :)
already sounds too complicated for me. :)
brining a turkey is very yummy...
i am 80% done with the christmas shopping, ditto the online thing!! still feeling pressured though...
