The Universe Sucketh

O.k.

So, it's only like 11:10 am and I'm having to get ready for my attack at the bookstore at lunch.

I've got to get there, find books and calendars for various assorted people, pay the nice cashier and then get my booty back to work.

WHEW !

At least I sort of have a list of what I need to get - - - that should make life a bit easier, right?

The great debate of my day today?

Whether or not to partake in the Turtle with my friends after work.

It's our local watering hole that the three of us frequent once a week or so.

They both want to go but I have MORE frickin cookies to bake still and J wants us to "do cards" and "figure out lists" tonight.

But I think I have a plan.

At lunch I'll pick up some cards and get them done here - - - I mean, I have the addresses and even printed them out on labels in festive colors.  So that's easy to knock out - - - give just about everyone the generic message and BLAM !  we're done !

As to the list?

Well, I've got my list.

I've checked it twice.

And I have a pretty good idea of what to buy for who.

So this whole "list" thing is more him than me.

Even getting these two items out of the way, it still leaves the cookies which I desperately need to finish up.

I mean, I was up until 12:30 this morning working on them !

Granted, that's mostly because I managed to kill my new mixer - - - the mixer I've only had for a couple of days now . . . that I bought to replace the mixer I killed over the weekend.  J wasn't home yet and was kind enough to pick me up yet ANOTHER new mixer on his way in but he didn't actually get home until 8:30...so that's when I got to start with the mixing and the baking.

FUN !
Maybe what I'll do is go but only stay for like an hour.

That is SO hard to do with my girls, I have to tell you !

We have so much fun together and the time just FLIES by when we go to the Turtle.

Hhmmpphh.
I'll have to ponder this, I suppose.

I mean, today is also my early day so I'd even have a ½ hour jump on the game if I didn't go and went straight home.

But then I feel bad because I'm canceling on them.

But then again, we are going out on Friday after the office party and we can do our catching up then...

Hmmm...
