This is a record: it's December 13th, and not only do I have most of my Christmas shopping done, I have eight presents wrapped. Feels really good -- I'm generally so last minute about these things, and it's really nice to have less hanging over my head. I'm not done, but I've made good progress.

As a total side note, David got me a surprise -- a bottle of Laphroaig single malt scotch! I have really been wanting to try it properly (I had a very watered-down taste in a pub once). Just a total surprise, clear out of the blue. It was mighty sweet of him.
