There are just twelve shopping days left until Christmas, which means there are four days until graduation and five days until dinner at Kai with the Fros. I’m uber stoked about all three! Chris and I ordered the remainder of our online gifts last night, and I made my list of remaining Christmas gifts to purchase. I’m off to make a few Ozark/Nixa purchases after work, and tomorrow night I’m heading in Springfield for a trip to Missouri State (for the cap and gown), Hobby Lobby, PetsMart, and Target.

My bum is still incredibly sore from my fall down the garage steps last Wednesday, but I don’t have any bruising. It’s the strangest thing. Bending over, sitting down, and standing up all hurt horribly, so working out my bottom half is out of the question. That and Ice Storm 2007 Part II is rolling through the Ozarks, so running outside is a bit treacherous, too.

I must say that I do love this weather and this time of year. We’ve had a fire in the fireplace almost every night; I’ve been crocheting fun little scarves, mittens, and hats; we’ve been watching random movies whenever we want; and I made snickerdoodles Saturday night. Yum!
