Even I'm Impressed with Myself

I managed to get close to all my Christmas shopping done yesterday. One fell swoop. I've heard back from two different people who saw me but said I had a look and a determination about me that mean I was not to be disturbed. They were like "yeah, I saw you but you had a mission."

Hey, in less than two hours I did a quick scout, confirmed some things I had already listed, and then purchased for:

Mom
Leone (sister)
Julia (sister)
Jason (bro in law)
Jim's birthday (Dec)
Laura

And confirmed items and location for:
Jim (Christmas)
Gram and Gramp
Dad
Melly

I have partial gifts done for:
Laura (birthday)
Melly ( birthday)
Leone (birthday)


Okay, and to all my friends/family - about the whole birthday happening right around Christmas... I know, it is probably tough on you all as well.

I think one more day might get it done.

I am very impressed with you too!

I haven't even thought about christmas yet! Which means I'll probably do the usual - run around like a mad thing 2 days before christmas and spend much more than I can afford because I don't have the time to be selective.

Do you fancy doing mine?!

You know, it's a good thing I love you so much, cuz if I didn't I'd just have to hate you.

Well, not hate you, maybe just hurt you a little...

And hey! It's more fun when you wait until the very last minute to do all your shopping. Didn't you know that??

I am so jealous! I'm trying to key myself up into Christmas shopping, or at least Christmas list making, but I just can't bring myself to do it. I suck at buying presents.

I am trying to figure out what you got me... I'm thinking about stores you could have gone to that weren't around the CD store... but there are a lot of stores that aren't around the CD store.

The kitties and the bear know.

Arrrrgggh

And here I was, thinking I was doing well by starting a gift idea list! Very well done. Then there's the blanket I'm doing for my godson that I only have six weeks to finish. I'm starting to panic. It's too early to panic, isn't it?

What? Christmas is coming soon???

I have just two words to say about your precocious shopping habits:

Bite me.

(really, I love you...it's just that holiday shopping hasn't even crossed my mind yet and now I realize that soon I'll be behind.)
