Screw the merry elves...

... I'll take the cookies.

Ah... Christmas time again. A full schedule of events that you are always so grateful are over when you leave. Every year I say it will be different. This year I seem to have a jump on things... not that it will matter.

I am done with shopping and nearly done wrapping. A few little things are coming this way and then I am truly done. I have bought my stocking stuffers and just need to get them to the right places. Mikkel is making some awesome gifts this year and I cannot wait to see what she comes up with. Quite creative!! The bright spot.

I have been off for two tours and I really need to remember that that is too long to be off. I have nearly put January 2013 Union paper to bed and that is a relief. The plans need to firm up some before the Srs test so that this isn't a full time project like it has been. But it has been fun and certainly a learning process.

I hate this time of year. Just hate it.
