The gifts have all been bagged up to pack in the car. It took 4 shopping bags and a garbage bag and then 1 shirt box in my suitcase. Hurrah!!! Now all I have to do is carry them down to the car. I think I'll bring my suitcase and knitting bag down to the car tomorrow am. I don't really want to leave the presents in there for a day and a half. I'm going knitting tomorrow night, which is why had to do this tonight.

My knitting bag is all packed. I finally decided on my neice's unfinished hat, some socks I'm designing and the Vintage Velvet scarf. I rthink that's enough to keep me occupied for 8 days...if not, there are always yarn stores in St. Louis.

My clothes are half packed. I'm waiting for my last load of laundry to be done and then I'm finished for tonight.
