What did you do this weekend?
~Mom's Present~
Mom's present... well you see. I thought I was brilliant but in fact, I am not as smart as I thought. I ordered 95% of my Christmas presents online and had them shipped to my mom's house. Since I was going to see her in DC, my plan was fool proof. Everything arrived as expected. I even ordered my mom's present. She brought me everything and it took quite awhile to pack it up for the plane rides home. What I failed to do was wrap my mom's present and give it to her prior to her departure back to Ohio. I arrived home to find her gifts w/ me. I had to wrap them & ship them back home. Sure hope they arrive by Christmas, the deadline here for shipping for Christmas was December 6th. Only missed the day by a week!
