Shopping is almost done!

Many of you are probably thinking "ALREADY!?!"
I know, I like to shop early. I love to spoil family and friends. This year we were able to get a lot accomplished on our vacation to Connecticut. But it is hard to get little surprises for your spouse when they are with you. SO yesterday I headed to Salt Lake City. Tuesdays are my normal day off from work, but I usually have a ton of chores to get accomplished. Yesterday I didn't so to SLC I went. I dropped Akahige off at work and went shopping. Two hours later and sore hands from heavy plastic bags, I was done. Now I have to get them all wrapped before he accidentally sees the loot. Only people left to get gifts for are my inlaws and my stepsister. Which is a huge decrease in the list since we had my sisters boys as well and there are 5 of them. We still have to meet with my older sister and hammer out details for my father and stepmom's present as well. So getting Akahige's shopping done is huge.

I also cashed in on a Christmas gift that is 7 years old last night. When we were dating Akahige gave me a coupon book with tons of cool things I could cash in on in the future when we both had good jobs and a little extra cash. So last night he took me to see Into The Woods at the Hale Centre Theatre. We enjoyed the time together, but were a little disappointed with the lack of humor in the show. Being a production where the plot is loosely based off of Grimm Bro Fairy Tales, we were expecting more humor. It was nice seeing the show break down the stupid Disney renditions. But they still had to put in all the princesses. Oh well. It was great to be able to go to the theater again. If you ever get a chance to go see a production at the Hale, do. It was awesome as far as the stage set up. It is actually a round stage (stage in the center, like Shakespeare) and the set would raise and lower all over the floor, the whole theater was decorated to give you the feel of being in the woods. It was just amazing!

No pictures today, sorry. When I get a chance I will get some shots of this wonderful stormy fall weather with snow in the peaks. But until then.

I need to get my mailing out for November and December's promo. Finish a scrapbook for my grandmother and most of all enjoy Autumn and hot coco
