today i started xmas shopping cuz i figure, if i don’t start now while i have a little but of $ in my pocket, then i’ll procrastinate and spend it on stupid things like starbucks. so, so far z is getting a potty and some big-girl panties and a dora dish set and a movie.
i also picked up a couple small things for fh and his mom and one of my friend’s daughters. also some xmas stationary cuz i’m going to do a newsletter for the family peoples and some cards with the little picture cutouts so there can go in a pic of my one and only.
still mandatory left to go? finish fh and his mom and his brother, my neieghbours and their son (who’s bday is on xmas and he is z’s favourite kid in the world so there’ll be some spoilage), finish my friend’s daughter and her/her husband, my grandfather and one of my client’s families cuz we’re kinda pretty close. also stargirl, but hers is already picked out and planned and has been for months.
optional additions that i am wishing and hoping for? making some crafty things for sarah and c & l and for mitzie and taking jen h on a night on the town, and i dunno, you, too.
then onto the tree and decorations and smut like that. oh and the dinner and the storage containers for giving street people leftovers. what else???
xmas pictures at sears of zoë cuz when you’re a mom, you must make your kid look sweetly cute/a total retard at least once a year and then frame the proof of it and give it to everyone and especially carry it in your wallet.
that is last years at right and you can’t tell but since she was five months old and still only wearing 3 month clothing and had just switched from size 1 to size 2 diapers, they took up about half of her torso. i shit you not. she was diapered to nipples, practically.
