So, I've done all my Christmas shopping, except for Em! True, it isn't easy to shop for her because I'll walk past the CD's and say - ooooh, Em might like that... wait... Em might already have that...
But now she's leaving on Tuesday and I still haven't bought and wrapped a present for her! And I'm being pushed to do so, not only by me but because Em put her gifts for us under our tree already. I know this because they're the only presents under the tree. Our beautiful fake Christmas tree.
Ok now, before you get all kung fu on my ass for having a fake tree - allow me to explain. Now I love a super wonderful real Christmas tree like every other Christmas celebrater out there, but trees leave behind little calling cards. Needles. And when you've lived in an apartment for 13 years and have to drag the tree along the hallway to get to your door (and we lived at the end of the hallway), leaving behind a mountain of evidence that you've been tree shopping, the cleaning staff is just peachy about it!
There... I've explained. Glad you came to your senses and believed me. :)
But seriously, I'm going out today to buy Em a present, which can't be too big either because she's flying home. My best friend and I buy her present last!
And Em, if you're reading this, my resolution for 2006 is to be a better best friend to you. I think we've both gone through a lot in the past five months, so my ears will be more open from now on and I promise to giggle at all your stories. :) Love you...
