A little peace right here...

I took Jessi to basketball this morning and ran off to a yoga class. Today was the first day my calendar was nearly free of anything to do. All of Christmas shopping is done. I worked on a bit of scrap-booking, delivered some tamales and did a little laundry. I went out to pick up some photos and buy milk and whipped creme. That one little excursion took more than an hour-- the store was crazy crowded and the traffic nuts. When Jim asked if I wanted to join him shopping this evening I felt terrible not going but all I wanted to do was kick up my feet by the fire, work on my late Christmas/New Year's family letter and watch Christmas movies. I visited Erika at Rosatis, ordered a cheese pizza for me and Jessi (Monika and Jim ate tamales) and put my pj's on while Jim battled humanity. He called every so often keeping me posted on purchases, asking for advise and just being friendly. (Note: Jim's got a funny post on how he battles humanity during the holidays).
