'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My parents are the pits to shop for. They have so much stuff. I just think about anything I'd buy them, and where it would go, and...my mind blanks. That's why my sister's travel purchases are so good. Otherwise I default to accessorising my mother and dressing my father, and neither of them need that.
I will have to look for OBs in the pharmacy tomorrow. Please don't fail me.
Somebody should write to Jezebel or somewhere and stir up a fuss about the OB crisis.
Marketing departments notice that sort of thing.
I bought myself my Christmas present yesterday. It gets delivered Tuesday. I can't wait!!! I need to make sure CJ has something for his dad and dad's gf. Beyond that, I think I'm set.
This is the hippo I bought for K: [link] Or from this store, but at a real life store for like $8 less! We've been singing that song for two weeks now so it's funny to get her a hippo!
And I bought body wash for her.
Me? I want one of these: [link]
I like getting presents for people. And I certainly like getting them. But, then again, my family is pretty good with presents and I've never had an extended family to buy for (except for the one year we were all in France).
I like doing presents when I like the presents. Otherwise, eh.
I'm getting the kids a laptop. I'm tired of fighting them for time on my computer.
Do we know that the OB crisis is real? I've only seen things about the Ultra being discontinued, not the whole line.
I'm getting anxious because I bought some stuff from Eddie Bauer on Cyber Monday and had it shipped to a friend in MA. She hasn't let me know it arrived yet, so I am worried that they screwed up. I had to emailed them 5 days after I ordered it, because it wasn't showing up on my online EB account. They eventually sent me an acknowledgment and they notified me last week that it shipped. I think it may have gotten overlooked in the CyberMonday madness.
That said, I do really enjoy shopping for presents...for the most part.
I love shopping for gifts, but I get frustrated when the budget doesn't cooperate. I think my dad would love an MP3 player, for instance (once I, uh, set it up and loaded it for him), but I can't afford to do that this year.
I think I should have been a personal shopper, honestly. I could shop for days.
