Holiday Shopping and Serial Killer Update
I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving. I have an announcement.......
My Christmas shopping is DONE!!!
That's right. Finished. MWWAAAAHHHAAAAHAWHAWHHHAAAAA!!!!!
It is such a relief.
I know. You are thinking, so early? How did you do it? I just figured out what I wanted for everyone before I left the house and did a grab and run at the store.
Did I mention that I hate, HATE, Christmas shopping? I hate it.
I hate the commercialism, the music, the decorations, the PEOPLE, the pushing and shoving, the parking lots, and the frustration. Hate it.
So, I always try to finish before Thanksgiving so that I can miss the holiday rush. My husband's aunt called last night to ask what to get my boys. She then mentioned that she had to be at Best Buy by 3am. Now I don't know what she's saving by getting there that early, but I would probably pay that amount to NOT have to get there at 3am. I just don't get it.
I also hate the advertisers. You know, those sadistic people who advertise these awesome children's toys, your kid then begs for it, and you agree only to find out that they have really advertised four separate toys that cost about $50.00 each. UGH.
My shopping is done, my tree is up....all I have to do is wrap the presents and Christmas can just come on. I'm ready.

Serial Killer Update....
The Toll Booth Serial Killer has been down graded to "Creepy Toll Booth Guy". This occurred early Friday morning.
He was in my lane and as usual and said, "It's great to see you. You look fabulous today."
Instead of freezing in terror as I usually do, I said, "Do you say that to everyone?"
As I said this I noticed, for the first time, a wedding ring. He's married!
"No," he replied. "I only say that to the pretty girls like you."
Okay. So maybe not serial killer material, but definitely creepy. And I wish I could see what his wife looks like.

I hate shopping in general. However, I am opposite of you due to the mere fact that I shop for Christmas on Christmas Eve.
It's charming to be in stores full of frantic men.
It reminds me of shopping with my Dad on Christmas Eve.
you are one lucky dawg. I'm just about done as well so I can gloat soon too!
I am trying to figure out how to buy presents for people without spending any money. Hmmm...
