Gchat: It happened just now...

1:43 PM me: so um i started mildly freaking out last night b/c i haven't woven in the ends of dad's sweater and therefore have not washed it yet, have not started on tara and melissa's gifts

cousin danny and cousin jess are only half done

Jenn in DC: well christmas is a week away

me: and anthony's hat also needs the ends woven in

Jenn in DC: you should get a lene

me: lol yes

1:44 PM well i freaked out mainly b/c the sweater is gigantic and where will i block it at home w/o dad seeing it?

Jenn in DC: who's anthony?

me: jess and dan's younger brother

Jenn in DC: oh i didnt know they had one

Jenn in DC: you thought you had this christmas thing licked

me: i did

i totally did

Jenn in DC: you and the harlot are both delusional

1:49 PM me: yes

sigh :(

* Love Actually/Indubitably Cookie Party (c): Party in which we watch Love Actually (not to be confused with Love Indubitably) the greatest Christmas movie of our time and bring cookies to eat and share. During which I will clearly not be eating cookies because I will frantically be working on Jess' gift.
** This is how Jenn gets her knitting done.
*** Yes, I am.
**** Just a batch of Sambuca Cookies, a batch of Ginger Spice Cookies, a batch of Black and White Cookies, and a batch of Florentines (which I am just this moment realizing, I sandwiched instead of leaving as described in the recipe, doh. No wonder I only have a limited number of them)... and a partridge in a pear tree.
