sheepish

Dear Cassi (my super beautiful, sophisticated and completely put-together younger sister),

I made you a really great gift. What I mean to say is that I am still making you a really great gift. So........ I haven't shipped it yet. That means that, unless I am willing to buy the box containing the gifts for you and your delicious daughter and airplane ticket (so sorry, but I am not), it's not going to make it by Christmas. I did so well this year, so well. Everything else went out weeks ago. The Christmas cards went out a little later in the month than I would prefer but I send out a lot and they all went out eventually. It will be finished today. Promise. It will ship out tomorrow. I am really just trying to make the holiday last a little longer at your house. That was my plan all along.

Love, Me
