Time for bed. Almost.

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

Welcome back!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 […]

Done at last!

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

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 […]

Moving On

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

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 […]

Holiday Weight Gain

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

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 […]

Pondering

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

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 […]

And So On

Monday, June 1st, 2009

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 […]

A Short Break

Monday, June 1st, 2009

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 […]

Yummy

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 […]

Reopening?

Monday, May 18th, 2009

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 […]

Musings

Monday, May 4th, 2009

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 […]
