Woah, Christmas is suddenly here way too fast. I still need to wrap and send gifts! Doom!

So, um, don't expect your gifts by christmas unless I'm meeting you in person. :( I still have a lot of cleaning/packing/wrapping to do, so I don't think I'll have time to make it to the post office. Sorry!

Also, a big chunk of gifts I ordered haven't arrived yet. ^^; Knowing my luck it's stuck in customs. Yaaaay...

Things that must be done before Sunday or else all is lost and the land descends into darkness:
- Packing
- Kitchen cleaning
- Birdcage cleaning
- Family gift wrapping
