Plans for the Week
Are you finished shopping?
Taking any days off this week?
Looking forward to anything particular this week?
Happiest place on Earth!
Re: Plans for the Week
Are you finished shopping? I wish! I still have 13 people to buy for. We're hoping to go tomorrow night after work. I have everything planned and I know what stores we need to go to, we were just waiting on H's paycheck tomorrow (we had some unexpected expenses earlier in the month and have to plan for my 6 weeks of not getting paid).
Taking any days off this week? I don't work Mondays or Thursdays anyway. I'm not planning on any other days off, but really hoping LO will change that for me. H has Friday off.
Looking forward to anything particular this week? Shopping, wrapping, getting together with people, maybe having a baby.
Are you finished shopping? Pretty much. I have to get MIL a giftcard but I think I can handle that.
Taking any days off this week? No, I'm hoping they'll let us go early on Friday though.
Looking forward to anything particular this week? Work should be pretty laid back which will be nice and I'm looking forward to baking and looking at lights with DH.
Are you finished shopping?
Yes! We still have to pick up something for FIL/SMIL but I think T is taking care of that.
Taking any days off this week?
I think I'm going to take Friday off.
Looking forward to anything particular this week?
A quiet week at work (don't have much work left anyway!).

Are you finished shopping?
Yep! Done wrapping but 2 things for in laws (need to finish one set of coasters)
Taking any days off this week?
Friday is a holiday, but that day is Evie's christmas party at day care. So going to possibly work part that day then spend the rest of the day getting things together for christmas then pick her up early
Looking forward to anything particular this week?
Getting my wart removed today at 11! 4th time!
Evie's pediatrician appointment today to see if her ear infection went away (doubtful)
scheduling an appointment for an ENT possibly
My Blog Picture A Day Blog
Are you finished shopping? Not yet but we only have a few things left, several of which are just gift cards.
Taking any days off this week? Friday
DH's family is coming to town that day.
Looking forward to anything particular this week? I am looking forward to having all of next week off work. I really need a break from this place.
Are you finished shopping? No. I still have to get MIL's gift ( no idea what) and to pick up SIL's gift cards. Since I work close to the major shopping area, I'm going to take an early lunch and go when it shouldn't be so crowded. I also have to pick up a gift I ordered online.
Taking any days off this week? Not sure yet. I wasn't planning to originally but am debating it now. It's dead here and I apparently I get the memo that I was supposed to take the week off. This is my first X-mas at this job and I'm so used to working to provide "coverage" since i'm local, but since I'm the only person in my department- I don't have to work out "coverage" anymore. Lesson learned.
Looking forward to anything particular this week? Only the fact that its my last workweek of the year
I get to go back to the dentist for fillings tomorrow afternoon.
And then I work Wed. Thurs. and am off on vacation Friday.
Nothing too exciting going on in my world.
ETA: I've been a shopping slacker this year. I don't know or frankly, care about what I still need to get, bah-humbug.
Are you finished shopping? Pretty much. Need to finish wrapping and need to make DH something to open (his gift is a gardener for next Summer, so can't exactly wrap that...)
Taking any days off this week? I have Friday this week. Will be spent packing for Rhode Island and making a dessert - - oh and going to Janie's Christmas concert at school. I took T,W,Th next week as her school is closed but just found out that I very likely have to work. Means we have to see if MIL can come down to watch her. Makes me very sad, on all levels.
Looking forward to anything particular this week? Getting the F out of work for a few days and getting my new phone today!!!!
Are you finished shopping? Negative. We need to get gifts for MIL, SFIL, FIL, SMIL, another thing or two for my mom, my dad, my SMIL, and my two brothers. Oye. That's a lot. I have really slacked on Christmas shopping this year.
Taking any days off this week? No. I am guessing our schedule will be pretty light on Friday so hopefully my shift gets adjusted so I am off early.
Looking forward to anything particular this week? Relaxing with family this weekend.
Are you finished shopping? Yep! I am trying to stay away from all stores so I don't start impulse buying!
Taking any days off this week? I am off today and the office is closed Friday. I don't get any PTO since I'm part time, so even though I've tied up all of my loose ends in preparation for maternity leave, I'll still be going in and sitting there just to get the paid hours.
Looking forward to anything particular this week? Having the baby, having the baby and having the baby.
Are you finished shopping? No...still have 5 people on the list. I could've been done, just keep procrastinating!
Taking any days off this week? Not technically. We may be driving to see my ILs Thursday night - Friday, and if we do, I won't be working Friday but will check email.
Looking forward to anything particular this week? The weekend? I don't know...I am having a really hard time getting into things this year. Too much stress in other areas I think.
Are you finished shopping? I have a bottle of wine to purchase and then I'm done. I have a few that still need to be wrapped, but the majority I got done over the weekend.
Taking any days off this week? DH is off this week. Our office closes early Friday and then I'm off next week except for Wednesday.
Looking forward to anything particular this week? Hoping to get some baking done and the house in order for Christmas when the family descends upon us!
Are you finished shopping? Yes, but we only bought gifts for our nephews and niece. I'm trying to decide if should get my ILs something since they are missing Hanukah (sp?) and flying out here to stay with Kodi while I'm in the hospital. Maybe I'll pick up a gift card for them.
Taking any days off this week? n/a
Looking forward to anything particular this week? I get to meet my little girl on Thursday! I'm also looking forward to our first year of doing Santa presents. Kodi was too young in previous years to understand so we didn't do Santa. Santa may come a day or two after Christmas, depending on when I get discharged from the hospital but Kodi won't know any better.

Are you finished shopping? Almost. Still don't know what to get MIL and I need to wrap and ship the stuff I already have.
Taking any days off this week? No. This Friday should be my day off, but I'm flipping it to next week. Daycare is closed next week, so I will have Monday and Friday off and DH will take Tuesday - Thursday off to stay with LO.
Looking forward to anything particular this week? I hope to make some Christmas cookies and candies.
Are you finished shopping? I still need to buy for FIL. DH is suppose to come up with something.
Taking any days off this week? Yes. I telecommute Wed, then have Thurs - Tues off, telecommuting on Wed again.
Looking forward to anything particular this week? Time off with DH before his busy season starts. I get my hair done on Wed. We are going out looking at Christmas lights on Thursday
DH did a wonderful job of keeping track of gifts and I'd say we're finished. I'm glad I finished my shopping for DH at the beginning of the month when I was on vacation.
I have off Friday for our holiday schedule, but I have to work New Year's.
This week I'm looking forward to my u/s Friday.
Are you finished shopping? Yes, I am. DH has to buy a gift for his dad and we'll pick up stuff for his uncles on the way up to his parents house on Saturday.
Taking any days off this week? I start winter break on Thursday. Yay!!
Looking forward to anything particular this week? Winter Break! I'm looking forward to being able to sleep in and get my presents wrapped.
My Blog
Are you finished shopping? Yes! DH picked up the last gift card today:) However, much wrapping needs to be done.
Taking any days off this week? I was off today but I am every other Monday anyhow. I am banking on getting out early on Friday and them I am off for 3 days next week:)
Looking forward to anything particular this week? A sibling grief group Happy Hour on Wednesday. We are having a White Elephant exchange of things that remind us of our sibling. I am so excited to share my story about the gift:)
Are you finished shopping? We need 1 more gift card for a present toss. Oh, and Paul's gift. oops. Also, no wrapping has been done. We shipped all the gifts to the IL's house (all bought online) so we didn't have to haul them with us on the plane. We'll wrap on the 24th.
Taking any days off this week? the office is closing at 1pm on Friday, but I'm taking that day off anyway - we're flying back to MI! Our office is also closed all of next week, and Monday the 2nd. However, I'm sure I'll still be doing some work, just from home.
Looking forward to anything particular this week? Work is still busy busy this this week, but it's exciting. Thursday night we're having our good friends over because we don't have to work on Friday (and our flight isn't until 11am).
