Christmas shopping

I’ve been going for about three hours, in and around folding clothes and bathing boys.  I really wanted to get done tonight, but getting to sleep has become more important.  I do have most of it figured out, and should be able to finish tomorrow without a problem.

I haven’t done any significant bricks-and-mortar Christmas shopping since 2000, such is my affection for online shopping.  But I’m getting in a bad habit of forgetting that while it is easier, it’s not nothing.  I do have to sit and do it, and it takes time.

Finish shopping tomorrow.  Cards Wednesday.

  1. Gray Bat and I just finished up our cards last night – except for a few stragglers which I’m trying to hunt down their current addresses… We got 1/2 done on Sunday and the other 1/2 last night. I don’t think Paul has really ever done cards before, (he only did a few for his family last year) so he was amazed at how long it took the two of us to fill them all out. But I like actually writing the people’s names and a note for everyone… much more personal! Merry Christmas to you and yours!

  2. I got a KICK ASS present for Mr. Chili, and I REALLY want to blog about it, but I don’t know if he’s reading or not. Gah!

    I really do need to get out and do a little shopping – I ordered presents for some of my yoga people that I have to pick up and rather than pay the shipping for stuff I can get for the same price at Target, I’ve got to make a trek there, too. Maybe tomorrow.
