Christmas countdown

Only 10 more days till Christmas Eve! I am now off work for a week! Although I might take the opportunity to pick up a shift or two in Calgary since I havn't worked there in 6 weeks. But then again I might just take the week off! I go back to work for one shift and then I'm off again for 4 days over Christmas. We leave for Sicamous on Friday morning when I get off work and I'm soooo excited. I havn't had Christmas off work in the entire 4 years I've been nursing. Oh and by the way, I passed my 4 year nursing anniversary on the 12th! Time flies cause it sure doesn't feel like I've been working 4 years. Anyways, I've finished my Christmas shopping already, I've never finished this early and the problem with finishing early is that I now have more time to find all sorts of things that I wish I had bought instead so now I buy them too! Being organized isn't really helping my bank account so I think next year I'll go back to the 'last minute scramble' My problem now is that I bought gifts weeks ago that needed to be sent away and of course they're still sitting at home waiting to be mailed and now it's getting crunch time to get them in the mail so they'll be there in time for Christmas, even though I bought them and could have mailed them weeks ago!! I guess I'm not all that organized afterall. This weekend is going to be another busy one for us. We have the big Town of Canmore Christmas Party on Saturday night. I even got to buy a new dress for it!! Although every woman needs to have a little black dress and I didn't have one so it's an investment rather than an extravagant purchase on myself when I'm supposed to be buying for other people! Oh well, it promises to be a fun party and at least I have a pretty dress to wear. Happy weekend everyone!
