Wrapping some presents
Am getting ready to wrap the gifts we got for that teenage boy (14) who is living in a group home. I think I may have mentioned that we plucked his name off an "angel" Christmas tree in the lobby of the grocery store. He's a big, tall, overweight 14-year-old boy who is in a group home right now trying to get his life back on track. Surprisingly, he didn't ask for a whole lot.. we got him a lava lamp, a baseball cap, a T-shirt and a portable CD player. I hope he likes his stuff; I hope we can make a small difference for him during this holiday season. I wish I could have done four or five more; teenagers are just not as "lovable" and photogenic as the smaller children, they sometimes fall through the cracks. I was glad we got an older boy to buy for this year.
I do hate wrapping presents, dunno why, guess because I lack the artistry ability to make the packages pretty; eh, the wrapping gets ripped up pretty quickly anyway...
