Does that give you an idea of what today -- the whole week, for that matter -- has been like?
The Mama is busy planning for Christmas dinner, while I take care of the Seven Fish Dishes for Christmas Eve. A big pile of presents still need to be wrapped -- but we had to run several errands today, instead.
I have this awful feeling that once again, the Brick and I will be wrapping presents at 1 a.m. Christmas morning, instead of blissfully asleep in bed.
Hopefully all of your preparations are DONE, and you'll just relaxing. Meanwhile:
