Long day

What a day! It's is finally over and out.
The day started out as a day off. Then about 11am I get a text message from my friend, asking if I was going to the department meeting? That was news to me!? I didn't know about the 2 o'clock meeting, so I quickly call up daycare to see if there is room to drop Kara off for a few hours and head out to work for the meeting. The meeting ended a little after 3:30pm and I headed home shortly after that. Picked up Kara from daycare. It was good to see her playing with the other kids there. I don't have her in daycare all too much, mostly just when times like today happen and I can't take her with me somewhere. Also she gets some daycare interaction at my gym, when I take her with me she is able to play with other kids there also.

After picking her up, we went together to a mall for some Christmas shopping. I was at Victoria's Secret and tried a perfume on; I had Kara smell my hand and she licked it! I didn't expect that, it was so cute. I was buying for some of my girlfriends their Xmas gifts, to take with me when I see them in California. Even though we will be visiting the week after Christmas, I still think I should get them a gift. I got a really good deal on a box set of VS perfumes and lotions, so I can divide the set up to make individual gifts.

Kara and I were still out at the mall and it is now 8pm! I totally lost track of time and we were having fun together. Plus I still had to go food shopping before heading home. At this point it is already passed Kara's bedtime and one stop to grocery store isn't going to make it any worse. We get home about 9:30pm and I put Kara directly to bed, with her milk a read her book. Then I took the time to put away the groceries. By this time it is 10:30pm, almost 11 and I just now am sitting on the sofa relaxing with a glass of Eggnog, typing away. I need to get to bed myself, and end this long day on a good note.

Blog more later, for now it is sleepy time, and off to a deep sleep, dreaming about our California trip coming up.
