By 8am I had my war gear on.
Jeans, T-Shirt, Hoodie and comfortable shoes. (yes comfort was needed this time)
Dropped the kids at school and had my butt parked in front of my prey.
The biggest mall in town.
I had my weapons…my list of “must get gifts”, and my VISA.
In under 3 hours I plowed through a list of gifts for the girls, my 2 nieces, 2 nephews, my Grandmother, my Mother, my Sister and even polished off the odds and ends for my dearest Hubby. Oh and did I mention that I also managed to pick up a sweet winter coat and gloves for little ole me!
Store by store I took them all down one by one.
Feeling a little more at peace, a tad more victorious with each zip ding of the credit card machine.
Retail therapy.
Only about 12 more gifts to buy with just under 8 more shopping days left.
It can be done.
Sigh.
Tis the season my friends, tis the season.
I’m just a little bit jealous of you right now. Sigh, hopefully though I’ll have mine done by Monday.

Jeans, t-shirt, hoodie and comfy shoes. Love that look! I live in my hoodies.
I’ve been doing Christmas shopping here in China for my family. Luckily, I have a bit of a buffer, if things don’t get there by Christmas, I can blame it on the postal service. Lucky me!
I am exactly where you are. How I end up here every year, I’ll never know. The best laid plans…
Every year I say I’m going to get it all done early. And, every year, I end up exactly where you are. I’m still getting Christmas cards together! It all works out in the end though, right? Good luck!
You rock! I on the other hand, suck. I went to the mall the other night and didn’t accomplish a whole lot other than eating a delicious pretzel. I walked out thirsty and with only two gifts in hand. Did I mention that I got soaked in the process from the torrential downpour of rain going on outside the mall? The mall kicked my ass.
There is nothing like retail therapy. I have done so much shopping on etsy and thrift shops…but I think I have ended up with more for me..or at least on my wish list!
I was able to take a chunk out of my list today too – two hours and sweat dripping!
