Haul out the holly (and wrapping and bows)...

I know I've been super lazy about blogging lately. I apologize. Take it as my gift to you - a couple weeks of not having to read about how much I dislike Satan's Pants, how flippin' cold it is here, and how uncomfortable I am not that I'm inching towards 9 months pregnant. My family is tired of hearing it - I figured you would be too. If not, you can email, call or comment and I'll give you the low down of how horrible it is to be outside when the windchill is 30 below and you're wearing a cape that flies in the wind (the news reported a bat man sighting), how my socks cut into my swollen ankles and I look like big mama in house shoes that need to be cut open to squeeze my foot into, and how if I spend one more minute in the bathroom I will have officially spent more time going tinkle than doing ANYTHING else this month.
Christmas is in 3 days! I can't believe it. I have a mountain of things to do and I'm just not sure it's all going to get done. I've grocery shopped, but I may have to change the menu to cold cuts, white bread and Boones Farm. If I get everyone drunk enough they won't know the difference. I have almost all the gifts bought - but ZERO wrapped. I HATE wrapping. I love packages that have beautiful ribbons etc. but I just can't do it. Gift bags were invented for me. However, little boys like to rip into paper so TC and I need to get busy wrapping. Just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean Santa gets to fall down on the job this year. I'm too tired right now - I'll have to start tomorrow...
If I don't post again before Christmas, I hope everyone has a fabulous holiday and gets to spend lots of quality time with their loved ones. Hugs and Peace from Peaches and Cheese!

I hate wrapping too. I am no good at making it look all beautiful and if there is an odd shape forget it!!! I had intended to make tons of fabric gift bags this year. They are so cute and take about 3 minutes per bag to make. AND--they can be reused next year. However, I am completely unmotivated to use what little free time I have to sew. I've whipped out a few but I have also just bought wrapping paper and will wrap most of our gifts. Maybe next year...
When, exactly, is your due date??? I think we will be in Chicago this summer and I'd love to come see you. I talked to Ollie about it and he said we could. Woohoo!!
