I need to go to the post office next week - how sad is it that I'm putting aside almost 2 hours that day to do so? UGH. Hate the post office during Christmas.
I've spent too much time in line at the post office this month. It is sometimes inevitable. I always bring a book and get in some good reading time! Great post, I linked to it on my blog today: http://lelahwithanh.blogspot.com/2009/12/organizers-blog-digest-christmas.html
Happy holidays!
Did you know that if you have a PayPal account that you can print shipping labels? It saves so much time!
