Hi Bill. This is Hank. I'm just calling to let you know that I'll be a little late to your party tomorrow night. I have to put in a few extra hours at work to finish a report. I should wrap things up sometime between seven and eight though. Oh, then I'm planning on dropping by Lisa's house for about an hour since she's been sick recently. And, uh, one more thing. I'll swing by my place to pick up the snacks for the party. See you then.

wrap up: to finish - We need to wrap up this project by the end of the day.

drop by: to visit - Please drop by my place on your way home from work.

swing by: drop by, stop by - I need to swing by the store and pick up some food for dinner.
