I get a little over the top at this time of year, and thanks to book club coming, got my Christmas up this weekend. Now to knit my special orders, finish shopping and more!<br /><br />Do you like the Wally Lamb book? Read it last year and enjoyed it.

Trust me ;)<br /><br />Eric INSISTS on taking everything in on one trip. I, on the other hand, would be more than happy to not kill myself and make 2-3 trips! He looks pretty hilarious sometimes when he piles himself up with bags and boxes. I should take a picture!

Then, once he was in my life, my evenings were spent DOING things with him instead of sweating like a fool at gym classes. Now--it's a combo of both (as he is also a member at my gym these days!) Don't beat yourself up too much! Look--you already found a great way to incorporate relationship/workout: ICE SKATING! how cute :) And I hear you about lugging Christmas decorations/trees around. Welcome to my Sunday afternoon! I am just extremely happy that I NO LONGER live on the 3rd floor of an apartment complex in Baltimore. Let me tell you--when I WAS living there, I was the queen of wrapping as many bags around my wrists as I could! I knew my limits at the grocery store, Target, Walmart etc. If I couldn't do it all in ONE trip, it wasn't worth buying! HAHA. That was one way to keep my budget in line :)Erin https://www.blogger.com/profile/18356959640464901929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-53144056418018928022010-11-29T08:22:34.299-06:002010-11-29T08:22:34.299-06:00That sounded like quite a workout to me!
