today is sunday and its rained most of the day here. i have 98% finished my christmas shopping. brian went to old navy this morning, by himself, and came home in a new puffer vest. odd. then he wanted to go out for brunch because he was wearing his "new outfit". so we did.

this afternoon i helped prowler watch a huge black cat stalk around our backyard, along with some squirrels.

now, i'm wondering if what i got @ the mall for brian's teenage girl cousins is appropriate. they're 16ish. jamie lynn spears is 16 too. she's having a baby. so that's where i am with things.
