It took me all day, but yesterday, I managed to fit 3 chores into 12 hours.  I did clean my bathrooms, and I did finish the laundry.  And I did wrap the presents we had to be wrapped.  Other than that, I goofed off, watched television, started a small crocheting project, and talked to Eric.  I left the house to put the trash out and get the mail.  That was it…lovely!<\/p>\n

Today, my parents are coming up to Columbus, and Karen & I will join them to do some shopping (mostly helping them shop for each other).  Mom and Karen go together, and I go with Dad.  It’s sort of a holiday tradition, but we have a good time.  So I probably won’t be on Xanga much through the midday and afternoon.  <\/p>\n
