Wow...looks like this is turning into a more weekly blog than a daily one. Things have been extremely busy, both at work, at home, and with my side business. No big deal, but it means some things have had to wait. One of these things is Christmas shopping...(or holiday shopping for those atheists out there...oh brother don\'t get me started).

Carrie is hosting a little Christmas crafting party over hear so Olivia and I get to go out and do some shopping. I\'m not really looking forward to fighting my way through grouchy people, especially while toting a toddler, but its the only time I see that I am gonna have to be able to get it done. On the plus side though, it should be some quality time with Olivia. (Yet another thing that has suffered a bit the past few weeks).

So, without further procrastination, wish me luck as I head out to partake of the yearly tradition of trying to remain calm, while dealing with people...not one of my talents...
