Still not ready!

Here it is. Christmas Eve. I still have gifts to wrap. Heck, I still have to purchase cards to put money in for the nephews and niece.

We drive a few hours today to go to Columbia, Missouri. I am tempted to live blog the entire weekend. It might keep me from opening up my big mouth around the very liberal sister-in-law, her husband and kids. I really want this to be a peaceful Christmas - just to keep my blood pressure down.

Don't get me wrong - John's sister is a very nice and sweet person. I like her a lot. She has a bad habit, though, of picking on my faith - I'm Catholic - I mean, golly gee - she is Episcopalian, it's not all that different! But she believes that abortion should be available for all, and I don't. So I promise I will not bring it up, and if she does, I will pretend to be totally deaf.

Andy loves to go to these family things because they can be such a soap opera. But this year, it will be different. I will be full of love and sweetness and thank zoloft for that ability.

I better get bathed and dressed and wrap those gifts and pack a suitcase, or they will be calling and asking when we are going to get around to driving the three hours to get there!

Merry Christmas, everyone!
