Boxing day, eh?

OK. Yesterday crappy, today much better. Maybe it being the 26th, not Christmas, takes the pressure off.

We both woke up before 10 a.m. and were scoping for deals at Target by noon. I finally got those damned nursing bras I’ve been meaning to get [hello, wide world of B-cup!] and Iain got a pair of khakis for school. We stocked up on half-price wrapping paper and holiday cards and ornaments for next year’s tree. And we decided to spend a little of our Christmas money and splurged on some DVDs and — dare I admit it — board games. I even contemplated wrapping them and sticking them under the tree, but that would be silly.

Anyway. The moral of the story is: Christmas is just a day, and if you want presents, you should go buy them the day after, when they’re on sale. Now my debit card is appeased and I feel much better about things. Iain not being hungover helps a little, too. And … so does the fudge.

Buckle-butt: We finally installed the car seat. I am completely and totally ready for this baby.
