That is exactly what I did today. I spent the day in Lawrence and Topeka Kansas shopping my ass off. I found some pretty good gifts, and almost made it home by midnight. Luckily I don't turn into a gourd at that point so we're good.
I always have this problem of trying to buy too much stuff for people in case they don't like what I picked out for them. Then I have to try and make it even with what I bought everyone else. I think that I did alright today. I made myself put a few things back that I really wanted to buy. And hell. If I really decide said person(s) need what I had picked out for them as well as what I bought for them I'll just go back. I don't think I have the energy to go shopping again, so they're stuck with what's in the lovely plastic bags shoved onto the top of my dresser.
Thanks also for all of the comments. I know I haven't been commenting back too much in the past week but they have still been saving kittens and making me smile.
For now I am going to put my feet up and blogstalk all of you until I pass out.
Think I am done shopping except for the rest of the food stuff. Just cant get motivate to wrap yet. Reckon it will be a christmas eve thing this year
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting that shopping done! I've got only a few things left myself, and they're all for our 4-legged "kids" so I'm not to concerned. But I may be hitting up Topeka soon, 'cause our kitty is in need of a new Christmas tie! Petco, here I come!
ReplyDelete@Mynx, giftbags are awesome on that note.
ReplyDelete@Lady Fromage, I did it all without stepping foot into the mall as well. We kept saying we'd go there last and then ran out of time. NOT so sad about that.
I try to do all my Christmas shopping online, but that didn't happen this year. I actually went out into the madness. Glad it's over and whatever didn't get done is not getting done. Especially since I just discovered that my oven is broken...three days before Christmas. That's just bullshit right there.
ReplyDeleteI did my last little bit of Christmas shopping yesterday and that was only for one person. The rest of my gifts will be late and taking people out for dinner and a movie.

Aww I love buying presents for everyone! I always have that fear though that what I buy isn't what someone had in mind of receiving. But it always works out alright:)

Mrs. Hyde- Oh no!! How's your sister going to eat a Christmas dinner if your oven is broken?! Er...too soon?
ReplyDeleteAdorkable Ditz- HA. I envy you. I have a bit of a compulsion when it comes to getting everyone's presents on time.
Sani Ali- I'm sure everyone will love what you got them.
Bruce- I will fight you for the Grinch status. Although I don't wait until Christmas E-
...Um, how exactly do you get your presents again?..
I laughed my ass off when I read your response to my comment! I wouldn't have expected you to remember that. I'm not cooking for her; I told you I was putting my foot down. What made it even easier was that she didn't ask. ;)
ReplyDeleteMrs. Hyde- Remebrance of details is the most important part of being able to make fun of people like a professional!
ReplyDeleteGood that she didn't ask though. And good for you for being prepared to put your foot down.
