It Finally Happened

Today is apparently a day of me caving. First, you'll notice that I attempted to fancy up these photos using the CameraBag app. I know, I said I was vehemently against this concept, and I still am, but honestly, the photos I take on a whim in my office (which is lit by horribly bright flourescent bulbs) with my phone look just terrible. Ugh, so I caved. Snarky comments may now ensue.

I just ran out to the Post Office to pick up some of these:

I'm using my AWS day off tomorrow to get the rest of our holiday preparations wrapped up, including some shipping. It never fails, the Post Office on Pennsylvania Ave is next door to the 'Bucks. I have resisted temptation up to this point despite a handful of trips to the P.O. but today my repeated mental chants of "you don't need it, you don't need it" didn't help me resist this at all:

PHC, of course, stands for Peppermint Hot Chocolate and I am now in full regret mode. I'm not in regret just for indulging in something I lust after every holiday season, but it wasn't even that hot when they gave it to me and therefore I drank it in about 2 seconds once I got back to my office to keep it from becoming cooled hot chocolate. Lesson learned I suppose.
