What did I decide to do today, in addition to pay some bills and take a walk (see below for that)? Well, after some late morning bedtimesexxyfun, I decided to go get some groceries. And while there, I decided I wanted to make some chili.
I hadn't made chili in a couple years, so I wasn't sure exactly how much of which ingredients to get. So, of COURSE, I called Mama Polt. And she told me. BUT, I always like to put more meat in the chili than normal. So I bought......perhaps too much stuff. See?
Yeah, that's a LOTTA chili for one person. But I made it, and yeah, it DID make a lot! Half a freaking pot! But I'll eat it, don't worry about that! It was delicious! So good I had TWO bowls of it!
YUMMY!
A bit later, I'm was sitting around here doing absolutely nothing, and I thought.....I'm gonna wrap some gifts!
And that kinda freaked me out a bit.
See, for YEARS, I'm talking like even up to 10-12 years ago, I didn't even start Christmas shopping until like the 20th of December or so. But this year, I have a LOT of gifts already bought. Like probably 30 separate gifts, and with a few more to buy. But the point is, I already have most of my shopping done.
And there was MANY a year I spent a good part of Christmas Eve wrapping gifts. So that fact I've wrapped a few already is startling. I only wrapped 6 of them, before I got bored with it. But hey, at least that's 6 I dont have to wrap later!
I guess this is what happens when you turn 50....you start wrapping Christmas gifts earlier than ever before.....
