Okay, so I never got around to posting my SPF pics on Friday. I accidentally left the camera's compact flash card in J.P.'s notebook computer, and he took it to the office. However, I'd already dug out all of my yearbooks by the time I realized that. When J.P. got home, he made fun of them—he said they look like Little Golden Books because they're so thin. That's what happens when there are only 75 kids in your class, and there's a single school building for students in kindergarten through 12th grade!

We started our Christmas shopping on Friday night. You probably don't realize what an accomplishment this is for me. I'm usually the one running around the mall mid-December, frantically purchasing Ronco rotisserie grills and Chia Pets for my friends and loved ones. I'm hoping to change that trend this year. Come December 24, J.P.'s mom will be traveling in style with this fashionable Vera Bradley duffel bag:

Shhhhhh . . . don't tell her! We want it to be a surprise. One gift down, 273 to go.
