My stomach is slowly coming out of the knots from yesterday as I face this day of appointment making and . . . something happy, too: Christmas shopping!
I'm going to do all the prep work before I leave (you know: balance checking, pay the bills). I'm only heading to the mall to get each goody box (there are two: both families will share) a variety box of Honolulu Cookie Company cookies. Also at the mall, I will pop into the shoe store and buy my girl SIZE 8 (she's a shoe size larger than me, ach du libre!) black, not hi-tops, Chucks. Then, I hope to find a spiral calendar either at Borders or elsewhere for 2010. There's something else, but I can't recall, but I know it's on the list downstairs. Then, I hope to stop by the commissary (why do I do this to myself????) to get bags upon bags of Aloha Hershey's Kisses. Ahem, Kissteen: you're box will have at least one bag of these! But, be judicial about eating them for the babe's sake, yeah? I do not want Jamie hunting me down and lecturing me for . . . hey, wait! Share them. She can have one or two, right? wink wink wink
Yesterday, after leaving Tripler, Crickles wanted to buy an iTunes card at Target so I was able to get each family (parents, siblings/spouses) those brass cut out ornaments, but with Hawaiian themes. For example: one of the ones on my tree (and I thank God I got it when I did 'cos there weren't any left yesterday) is Santa riding a wave on a surf board. The wave is the circle around him. I'll try and get a good picture later.
So. Them are the plans. I trust God will allow them to unfold without too much issue. However, I just pray I stay patient and happy. I'm tired and worn down and it can make me cranky. Please, God, keep Your hand over my mouth! Guard my thoughts so I don't snap at anyone in my mind either. Amen.

OOOOH I am so lucky!!!! my mouth is watering and a little drool is escaping my chompers. I CANNOT wait to try (i promise to control myself) and to share (maybe---maybe not!) those little goodies.
Hope you have a sweet sweet day!
love your friend kissteen who is at this moment freezing her tushy off!
Kissteen - I hope to put the box in the mail tomorrow when I post out the boxes to my family. Thank God the post office has those flat rate boxes.
Glad your stomach is cooperating with you today. I will keep Crickles and Mary in my prayers. And you too of course :)
Chocolate is great! My favorite treat [and icecream]!
