Kinda funny, kinda stupid but totally me :P .

It is 2am, we are baking tomorrow & yet here I sit. Actually, I just sat down, with a piece of caramel apple pie which is absolutely divine.

I had to blog this though because it is a testament to how retarded I am .

After the kids finally fell asleep & after the Panthers beat the Calgary Flames in a shootout, which I had to watch online, which I got lucky enough to find online, I gathered my shopping bags from the closet to start wrapping gifts.

I bought 3 rolls of wrapping paper today, one of them I absolutely love. I have to have several kinds of paper under the tree, I am anal like that. I actually had at one point like 15 different rolls of paper, but I lost it all in the flood.

So, I'm just a happy wrapping mom... wrap..... tag.... wrap..... tag. All the gifts in a nice neat pile, 3 wrapped in this paper & 3 wrapped in that paper, etc, LOL.

As I get down to the last 3 gifts, it occurs to me that for the first time, everything is completely different. Usually there will be 3 of the same box because everyone got pjs, or books, or a movie. Not this time. This time every thing except for 2 boxes, is completely different, and those 2 boxes shake differently . And that was when I decided that I did not want these gifts tagged.

I want to be the only one to know who all these gifts are for. I don't want them to pick up a gift & shake it & say "Oh, I think this is ______, just what I asked for." I want them to wonder who it is for & then what it is, LOL.

But of course all the gifts are tagged. So, I very gently try to take the tags off, didn't work. It didn't rip the paper but it made for a white nearly see through spot in the paper. So, I then start to cut out scraps of the matching paper. And on a few, can you believe it, I even cut it out to match perfectly. But it is obvious that I altered these packages because my tape is plain old scotch tape, not the transparent tape.

Yes, I am anal. And I always will be.

Off to take some Nyquil & hopefully sleep in a bit.
