Table for one

I used to think it was kind of pathetic when I had to eat meals at my coffee table in front of the tv. But ever since I got a dining room table, I find that I enjoy eating at my coffee table much more. The empty dining room chair sitting across from me makes me sad. And I don't have a good view of the tv from the dining room, so it's doubly lonely. I sometimes feel bad for my table, or rather, I feel bad that I spent money on something that I don't use, so I'll force myself to eat a meal there every once in awhile, but I don't enjoy it. I should just put out my fancy placemats and cloth napkins and have it be something pretty to look at, instead of a functional piece of furniture.

Do you eat at a table, or do you eat in front of the tv?

Swami wants a new post

but I don't have much to say, so I offer you this half-assed update. :)

I spent about 4 hours on Saturday morning doing online Xmas shopping. I'm usually a big time procrastinator and I wait until the week before Xmas to even think about presents, but this year I figured if I could do everything online it would be much less stress for me, so I made sure to order early enough that the stuff should be here in plenty of time. I got pretty much everyone covered, except for my mom. I don't know what to get her. I was going to buy her a purse, but then she said she'd rather pick it out herself. The other idea I had was a weather station, but the ones that are in my price range aren't that impressive. I should probably pick up something else for my sister, too. Hmmmm.

Since I'm somewhat on top of things this year, I wonder if I should attempt to send cards. Eh. That doesn't sound too tempting to me right now. I have to do our Xmas cards for work, so that's enough for me. I'm lazy. :)
