I think I might be enjoying becoming a little old lady. Minus the sagging, of course. There is all kinds of sagging and I’m not fond of it.
I digress.
A wedding + a play + lots of doctor’s appointments + starting my own business (more details later) + the month of December =
zero time for wrapping the gifts that arrived hours before Dadaw’s visit.
He quipped, “Well, it sounds silly for you to wrap them right now, so we can then immediately open them. Just leave them in the Amazon boxes.”
I looked at him with stunned shock. For about two milliseconds.
Slowly, I smiled and said, “Sounds great.” And then I exhaled.
After I realized that I hadn’t even bought Scotch tape yet to wrap presents, much less tape boxes shut, I laughed and grabbed the only tape we had: black Duck tape.
I’m more than a little concerned about myself. Looks like the slope is quite slippery for me. At the same time, it was pretty freeing.
I guess I’ll be wearing a muumuu by next Christmas.

Hahahahahahaha. I think you have come up with a GREAT idea.
Shhh!!! I’ve decided to wrap presents in newspaper this year!
I’ll let you borrow my tie-dyed muumuu
Michael wrapped my gift and used the staple gun.
Love those mumus. You crack me up.
Good times. Merry Christmas!

It is hard to let go of society’s expectations for the season (perfectly wrapped presents) and focus on our Savior and our relationships with our loved ones. I’m sure your time was much better spent visiting with Dadaw and your children than wrapping the presents. I think you should consider it a success!! Merry Christmas.
You are so hilarious!!!
