happy christmas eve!

today i got to spend the first part of Christmas eve at work.

as i looked out at my half lit up little christmas tree and an empty shop i started to feel well... bored... and sad that i couldn't just go home.

so...

i wasted a little time on the computer, and...

... pouted, and...

wasted more time on the computer... till i thought i would fall asleep! but then...

my dear dear friend, tami, came with all sorts of treasures just waiting to be wrapped! so...

we had a little gift wrapping party in the back... well, i wrapped while tami painted... she got a little distracted.

thanks, tam, for making this Christmas eve just a little more special and a lot more fun!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

a sure sign...

...fall is gone and winter has arrived

(i think i waited too long to carve my pumpkin this year)
