What say we just skip Christmas and go right to New Year's Eve?

Yes, so I've procrastinated and haven't done ANY shopping. Gasp! Not anything. Not one gift has been purchased. (Thank you, Plumbing!)

So instead of shopping, like you might expect, I spent a lot of today browsing for New Year's Eve party gear because, if it weren't for the kids, I'd sort of just want to skip Christmas this year and go right to our New Year's Eve with my best pals.

*The title relates to my uncanny ability to slip away at parties '.....hold on just one minute....' and an hour later everyone's like, "Hey...did Melissa go to sleep?" Usually the answer is 'Yes I did'.
