wrapping christmas gifts in the living room. being ‘green’ and cheap and using copies of ‘the isthmus’ – weekly madison newspaper – to wrap all my gifts. jen middleton’s gift is getting wrapped in front of some boring football game fred’s watching. trying my darndest to keep liza from running all over my precious and carefully chosen gifts.
