I think I am all done shopping. Between Trader Joe's and the 99 cent store, I did the last of my shopping today for Christmas dinner and stocking stuffers. Santa is bringing me a black initial handbag that I found at the 99 cent store - I think it had been at Target at one point. It's pretty cute. I got lotion for DH and my mom, a container of glass wipes for my dad for his truck, mints and gum, tree and snowflake post it notes, and candy canes for stockings. My mom usually brings along some stocking stuffers as well, so the stockings will be fairly full this year.

At Trader Joe's I got a turkey breast and some Tofurkey, for the vegetarians at dinner this year. I got 6 bottles of sparkling apple cider at the 99 cent store. I really love that place.

So I think I'm all set. DD is at grandma and grandpa's today, decorating cookies. I've gotten a lot done today. My goal was to get things done early in the week, in case the cold doesn't ease up or a migraine hits. Now I can sit back and relax, without worrying about things that still need to be done. There's cleaning to be done, but that is something DH will help out with.

We still need to send out our holiday pictures/letters. DH made a collage and uploaded it to shutterfly, and it has a sampling of pictures from throughout the year. We wrote up a half page key to the photos. Need to photocopy the letter, update our mailing list, and then we can get to that.

It feels good to be done with so much that needed to be done. My cold is better today, but not gone. I slept better last night than I have in the last three or four, and I think that helped a lot.
