Getting Ready to Leave

Ulises wrapping a present

Tonight one of my co-workers had a Holiday Chili party. I took Ulises to that and we had a great time. The food was good, the company was great, but I stayed way longer than I should have, especially considering I hadn't packed ANYTHING for my Christmas trip . . . . and I'm leaving work early tomorrow to make it to the airport. So, after getting back, I then had to pack my things. I hadn't wrapped the present I am taking with me, so that was first. Ulises helped me with that. But I was pretty much on my own from there on out. Hopefully I didn't forget anything, and if I DID forget something, I sure hope it is something I can do without for the weekend. Can't believe Christmas is almost here!
