[life] Wrapping all the way

Much shopping was done today, while in the company of my father. On the off chance that he has followed my sig from Gamers With Jobs here and then informed my mother of my shameful blogging, I shall not reveal what her present is but let me tell you: it is nice.

Also did the wrapping of gifts here this evening. As is becoming tradition, I wrapped everything except the husband's gift for me. He is not a wrapper. He made that clear early in the relationship, to which I say, fine with me. I like wrapping - it has the kind of anal, make-it-nice, everything-in-its-place, neat-and-tidy, crafty elements that make my heart sing.

Also did the trimming of the tree, culled from the side of a gravel road out by my parent's place in true Chambers tradition. Shawn bitched about the spare and bristly nature of our native pine once again, but I maintain that a tree off my parent's actual country property beats the green and bountiful pants off any tree seller tree that you care to name.

Wrapped presents are not under said tree, for Reasons of Cat.
