Up until 2am for the past three nights.
Friday: an all-girl sleepover party, the first such that any of us had attended in years. Had a ball, and met or remet several cool women (most of whom turned out to be LJers, go fig. If I missed adding anyone to my friends list, just wave at me). I am becoming aware lately of a certain need for, and appreciation of, more female community in my life. More reflection on that concept coming soon.
Saturday: Went to the Arsenal Mall (where there's now a Target *and* a Linens & Things! I am psyched, almost in spite of myself) for the afternoon, and tore through just about all my remaining gift shopping. Then off to a very nice Holiday Party in the evening, which I used as an excuse to wear the smashing gown Mom got me for Chanukah. ( Read more... )
Sunday: An afternoon-into-evening hangout date with Brian (happy). Got home around 10:30pm, made a few phonecalls, and then buckled down around 11:30 to wrapping and packing all the family Christmas gifts I have yet to ship off. I finally conceded at 1:45 am, with most of the actual *wrapping* done, that there was no way I was going to get anything to the post office today as I had intended. (Okay, I did get *one* box out, but I have, um, five more to do tonight.)
Tonight: finish the gift packing, then a late dinner date with Matthew (happy, happy) before he heads home to NJ tomorrow morning.
And a half-day of work tomorrow... which I suppose means I should show up by 9:30 in order to leave by 1, eh?
