Snapshots of my life

It's November 14th and it's sunny and 78 degrees outside. Let me repeat that for you. *78 degrees*. That's just fundamentally wrong. It's November. It's supposed to be grey and overcast with a damp chill in the air that makes you want to wear cozy sweaters and eat comfort food. Not beautiful and in the upper 70s and shirtsleeves weather that makes you ponder last minute trips to the beach. My calendar tells me that Thanksgiving is next Thursday, but my body refuses to believe.

Is the weather wacky for everyone else as well? Unseasonably warm perhaps? Not to mention dry? We're under drought conditions here in central NC. I wasn't the world's best about regular car washes, but now at least I have "being environmentally aware" as a plausible excuse for the layers of sediment attaching themselves to my vehicle. :)

In other news, I ordered the last of the kids Christmas and/or birthday presents last night. (The boys both have December birthdays.) I may live up to my vow to have all my holiday shopping done by Thanksgiving. Online catalog shopping in the wee hours of the morning is a boon to the modern woman.

Maybe the drought will be over soon because it's raining here. I'm trying to send it your way because, well, rainy days and Mondays always get me down.

I haven't even started on my Christmas shopping unless window shopping counts. Malls after Thanksgiving - yuck!

I have bought ONE Christmas present - and that's uncommonly early for me. And I've got another picked out. But I'm in the musing over what to get people phase, mostly. Nothing really definitely planned yet for the most part. No shopping agenda ;)

I like to have all of the major shopping done early in the season so that I'm less stressed. Plus, with all of the December birthdays in my family (in addition to the boys, my sister and my mother-in-law) if things don't get done early, it gets insane quickly. I also enjoy trying to find just the right gift for everyone so it's fun for me to do. :)
