I used to have a porcelain plate with the motto - "Busy is the best way to be" printed on it, I think it was a strawberry shortcake plate. It got smashed by DD when she was little as she attempted to do a backflip on the couch next to the shelf it was displayed on. The plate is gone, but the message lives on.
Over the last two days I have been living up to that motto, and the hours have flown by. Here is one of the reasons why:
Its my Xmas parcel corner. I should say was, as this morning all the parcels were posted. Stefani - the big envelope is for you! So look our for it in your mailbox.
DH's hands putting on the finishing touches to the parcels.
The queue in the post office was tiny today, but the posting process is now almost painful to conduct. After filling in customs forms at home to save time later, I had to produce ID papers to prove that it was really 'me' posting off the packages, then we went though the weighing process, form filling, stamp sticking and labelling, and finally after deciding if I wanted insurance or not, deciding on the tariff preferred, I handed over the boxes. Apparently its all in name of security! With much tutting from the lady behind the counter about living 'in these uncertain times' and I was outta there!
Met up with DH who was in the beauty salon having his massage' - the gift he received from the DD's for Fathers Day. He came out floated out with a silly grin on his face looking more relaxed than he has been for ages. I manged to whip that smile off in less than 5 minutes with my agenda for the rest of the day. (sorry - not!)
Between you me, I'll be glad to have a day at home tomorrow, so look out for an update later.
