Forgiveness

I have a problem. I bought a fun gift for a friend of mine WAY before Christmas, but it's an odd shape, and I can't find a box that it will fit in so that I can send it to her. I tried to find a box before the shipping deadline, but that didn't happen, because it just barely didn't fit into the diaper box that I was SURE it would fit into. Dangit.
Then the shipping deadline to make it there before Christmas came and went, and I figured I would just wait until Christmas because then maybe someone would give or get a gift in just the right box and then I could send it to her today. That didn't happen, either.
So, I'm taking it into town tomorrow so that I can find a box somewhere else and get this gift into the mail. Even though it's going to be late, at least she'll know that I thought about her. Better late than never, right? I just hope she knows me well enough to know that just because it's late doesn't mean that I bought it in haste.

Our Christmas here was great! It's still not over yet for us, either, because my parents have been in New York all week and are coming back tomorrow. When they're ready to visit, then we'll see them, too, and it will be Christmas all over again! So, I guess I'm technically not late, right?

I just today got my Christmas cards in the mail. I know... they're late too. My husband laughs at me when I say Christmas cards. So, I've renamed them Holiday cards. They'll get there before New Year's... it's all good.

I finally found a box that works! It just needs a little stuffing so that it doesn't break in transit. FINALLY! Now if only the post office would be open when I can get to it. I guess it will just have to wait one more day. If she's waited this long, one more day can't hurt. :)
