Time for bed. Almost.

Opening the bedroom door, you flip on the light… and groan. There on the bed is a huge pile of unwrapped gifts that you put there earlier and forgot about. Sighing, you start moving them into the closet, where they will barely fit. After a couple trips from the bed to the closet, you are out of breath, and you add more time on the treadmill to your growing list of New Year’s resolutions. Finally the bed is cleared off. You kick off your shoes and flop down, not even bothering to climb under the covers. It has been a very long day.

Done at last!
June 28th, 2009 by The Shadow Nose
Several hours later, after a short break to feed Lucy and grab a sandwich for yourself, you are finally finished opening the packages. Most of them were fairly normal gifts, though there was one box that proclaimed that it contained a ddr3 something, and you make a mental note to find out what the heck that is. It’s late. Looking around, you spot Lucy, who has buried herself in a mound of ripped up wrapping paper and is snoring happily. You decide to head for bed and deal with the mess in the morning. Standing, you head for the bedroom.

Moving On
June 14th, 2009 by The Shadow Nose
Deciding that it would be ridiculous to open either of the newly unwrapped boxes of candy when you already opened one earlier, you hunt around till you find the already open box. As you begin to munch, you realize that after the holidays, you may need a whole new wardrobe. Maybe you should hire a truck from one of those cross country moving companies to haul you around town to buy it. Laughing, you pick up another box.

Holiday Weight Gain
June 14th, 2009 by The Shadow Nose
After opening three more packages, two of which contained large amounts of sweets and the last of which contained a full smoked ham, you sigh. You know darn well you actually are going to eat all this, and sense that your quest for the best best weight loss pill is about to begin, after the holidays are over. Eying the ham, you decide that it will be worth it.

Pondering
June 14th, 2009 by The Shadow Nose
Well, you almost get started again, anyway. You sit and stare at the mound of packages still before you, figuring that you are going to have to set aside at least two whole days for writing thank you notes. Considering this pile, coupled with what you have already opened, you think whimsically that you could probably open a shop out at Westgate Mall. Sighing, you reach for the pile once again.

And So On
June 1st, 2009 by The Shadow Nose
The coffee tasted good, and after finishing it, you go back to the living room. Deciding that it would be unwise to leave the unwrapped gifts where Lucy could find them, you start carrying them into your office. When you are done, the gifts are secure in a room with a shut door and you wonder if you will ever see your office furniture again. Smiling, you return to the shrinking pile of still wrapped gifts and start again.

A Short Break
June 1st, 2009 by The Shadow Nose
Standing and stretching your legs, you walk to the back door and let Lucy outside. She had awakened during the last package opening and had become rather insistant. Looking around at the growing pile of very thoughtful gifts that you will probably never use, you are suddenly very thankful that you have that pile of empty moving boxes in the attic. You are definitely going to need them. You turn and head out to the kitchen for a fresh cup of coffee.

Yummy
May 18th, 2009 by The Shadow Nose
Selecting another package, you see that this one is from a former college friend… one that you had thought was dead. Oops. In any case, it was nice of her to send a gift. The contents prove very interesting, as you discover a large assortment of chocolate covered goodies. Apparently your friend’s obsession with appetite suppressant pills doesn’t extend to her friends. Setting the box beside you, you begin to munch as you look over the remaining packages.

Reopening?
May 18th, 2009 by The Shadow Nose
Returning to the living room you settle back down beside the still large mound of packages. Looking around, you see Lucy, who is still sleeping behind the recliner, only her twitching nose in view. You return you attention to the packages. Selecting one from your aunt, you open it, finding that she has sent you a lovely set of Moen faucets for your bathroom. Since you just redecorated your bathroom, you set them aside, vowing to use them next time, if yoiu can remember where you put them.

Musings
May 4th, 2009 by The Shadow Nose
Finishing your coffee, you sit a little longer, prolonging your enjoyment of the day by speculating on what might be in those remaining packages. You had already opened the more obvious ones, leaving the more mysterious ones and the ones which would probably be just plain weird, such as whatever was in the packahe from your niece, whose main interest in life seemed to be deciding which of the many on the market were the best diet pills, and whether or not she should take them. Smiling. you stand and head back toward the living room.
