It's funny how time speeds up as you get closer to the holidays. For a while, I was looking at my watch and thinking that I had all kinds of time to get everything done, but suddenly it's two weeks until Christmas, I haven't mailed out cards, I haven't finished shopping for the family in LA so I'll be rushed with shipping....and I have my national EMT exam next week and no time to study. On the bright side, this weekend is dedicated to decorating the house, hanging stockings, baking and getting a tree. Alex is trying to convince me that as a proper environmental do-gooder, I should invest in an artificial tree....but I love the smell of pine!! What to do, what to do....
