I would like to apologize in advance to anyone receiving a Christmas gift from me for the amount of cat hair that will come along with it. Belami is a wretched wrapping partner!

You know how wrapping paper kind of attracts hair? Well a cat who enjoys laying all over the wrapping paper (while you're trying to wrap a present) really doesn't help matters.

On the subject of Christmas gifts, I just about ripped my hair out at the mall yesterday! It was SO CROWDED! I drove into Salt Lake to do my shopping and I couldn't get out of there quick enough. Oh and here's a thought: a baby stroller the size of a hummer shouldn't even be manufactured, never mind allowed in a mall!

I'm sure you're all thinking "Hasn't Heather worked in a mall for the past 9 years? Shouldn't she be immune to this by now?" I was thinking the same thing, but you know what it probably was? Because of my schedule, I hardly ever have weekends off so if I have to go to the mall it's usually on a weekday when things are a little less hectic.... lesson learned. I won't make that mistake twice.

So I was looking for quotes about shopping on the Internet to end this with, and this one popped up because it just has the word 'shopping' in it. I thought it was really funny and it got me thinking that I do the same thing in my letters... why??? Enjoy, even though it has nothing to do with the entry!

Friends write me letters. They run out of room on the front of the letter. They write 'over' on the bottom of the letter. Like I'm that much of a moron. Like I need that there. Because if it wasn't there, I'd get to the bottom of the page: 'And so Kathy and I went shopping and we-' That's the craziest thing! I don't know why she would just end it that way.
