Twas The Night Before Christmas (Almost)

We spent the day with my parents, came home after dinner and upon walking into the house it was clear that I apparently stopped Managing Life sometime on Friday afternoon. I have a stack of unpaid bills on my desk, a mountain of presents to wrap, dirty dishes, new toys all over the floor and the house elves have done nothing. Nothing! The worst parts are the various and mysterious Bags O' Wedding Crap that I cannot bear to peek into. My veil is poking out of one of them, another, I know, is filled with Things We Thought FPC Might Want To Save, But She Probably Won't, Which Means I Am Harboring A Sack Of Garbage On My Counter. And then sometimes I wonder where my shrug is or my shoes or the nine million granola bars I brought to the church but didn't eat and oh, what about my scissors? WHO KNOWS WHERE THESE THINGS ARE? 

What I'm saying is: I have a lot to do. 

I am probably going to kick back on the couch with the ginormous Rubbermaid storage tub of leftover wedding cookies my mother gave me for our Christmas Eve celebration, but let's pretend I am actually getting stuff done. Sound good?

Here are some links to tide you over:

I have no idea when it will post, but my updated version of Twas The Night Before Christmas is SUPPOSED to show up at Parenting sometime on Thursday. We shall see. I'll update this spot when it does, because I am halfway proud of what I churned out this week. Hey! It's up!

I have a wishlist posted at Style Lush. Not because anyone dropped the ball on my Christmas gifts and could benefit from a quick trip to the mall (RIGHT, PHILLIP?) but because it's kinda fun to make a big stack of stuff you think is cool/fun/pretty/droolworthy.

And even though it's the Eve of Christmas Eve and I sincerely hope to be back with something Appropriately Reason For The Season tomorrow, just in case I'm not I'll link back to this picture. 

Merry Christmas Eves, everyone.

I think that all I want for Christmas this year is someone else to clean the kitchen. But then they wouldn't do it right and I'd have to redo it...

I think I dislike that holidays come with so much work. My house is a mess. (Also, so am I. I haven't even gotten dressed yet. Which for your time zone is fine, but I live in Florida. It's past NOON.)

Merry Christmas Maggie and co.

I posted at Parenting, but I'll say it again. That was GREAT! Thanks for sharing.

Merry Christmas, Maggie! May you and yours have a wonderful one this year!

Hope you had a fantastic Christmas! I read your wish list ... I got a Wii Fit Plus and I LOVE IT even though it calls me fat, the bastard.

I loved your list (and stole a few ideas from it). My list has turned more into a Things I'll Try and Buy Myself One Day list.
