I settled for doing laundry, hitting the grocery stores, ironing and setting up my gift wrapping station. Maggie is coming home this Wednesday and wrapping needed to be done. (Not that I am saying she would snoop.) The big game (Seattle v. SF) started at 1:25 and so did my wrapping.
Most of my shopping has been done online so I have boxes inside of boxes to manage. I am so glad I didn't get any "peanuts" because I hate trying to bag them up to recycle Instead, I had one package which took the prize for most ridiculous amount of waste:
The box for this one calendar (I'm not revealing any big secret, I always give the kids a calendar...) was 48 inches by 28 inches. The calendar was just bouncing around in the big box. Maybe someone screwed up and ordered these big weird sized boxes?
I managed to get most of my wrapping done, the stocking stuffers sorted and the laundry folded. Next up - cookie dough!
And Seahawks? You'll get 'em next time.

I've done as much wrapping as I can do until all of last week's online purchases arrive on my front porch.
I'm with you about biking when it's cold -- no, thank you, I'll pass.
I believe that is too cold to ride. It's been too cold here to be outside, in my opinion. Other folks still get out there, but I think 8 degrees is cold enough to stay indoors.
I've noticed most shippers these days are using little plastic air pillows instead of styrofoam, which strikes me as a huge improvement. The weirdest packaging I've seen in recent months was a shipment of my diabetic cat's food: the two 4-lb bags fit perfectly into a shipping carton (a plain brown cardboard box) which in turn fit perfectly into a plain brown cardboard box one size larger. Double-boxed for no apparent reason. Very strange.
It's a "one size fits all" box.
