Christmas has reached this house a day early, it seems. Guests are chatting away downstairs. When they leave after dinner, we're opening presents. For now, I'm hiding in my room.
Today was kind of interesting. After some mildly embarassed last minute shopping, Mother took me to have my hair cut. Luckily, it wasn't as traumatizing as last time. Mrs. Bull (after fourteen years, I still can't bring myself to call her by her first name) did a nice job. Then we went to the bank. I am the proud(ish) owner of my very own checking account. Lot of good it will do me when I get back to Wisconsin. I should have gotten one out there months ago. Then a quick stop at the post office to send some last minute holiday greetings, and home to do some last minute wrapping.
Dinner time.
