Why Oh Why?

I have some cookies baked and the house decorated for Christmas but for some reason I just haven't gotten around to shopping yet. Why?? Not that I haven't had the opportunity. On Thanksgiving Eve I went "shopping" with my daughters. What an experience that was, fun but my feet were on fire from our venture. We decided we didn't want to fight the "Black Friday" crowds so we went on Wed. night instead. We started at 8:00 p.m and ended at 2:00 a.m. Three stores, only three stores! They did good and got a lot of their Christmas shopping done, but this old Granny just picked up a couple of upcoming Birthday gifts and that was it. Why?

So today we decided to go shopping, after all we are within the two week margin now ~ but I still didn't buy a thing that would go under a tree. Why? Oh yeah, we bought groceries and looked for gifts but no luck.  Hopefully we will have better luck on Moday, or Tuesday or Wed or maybe Christmas Eve!

I finally went shopping yesterday with Sara and Sam. That was an adventure! A fun day; but so exhausting... and I'm still not done. I did get a good Chinese dinner out of the deal though. Hang in there... you have lots of time yet!! Just kidding!!! Get your butt in gear and get out there and buy my present!LOL

I've not shopped any at all. I am the world's worst procrastinator. lol We'll go soon as we know for sure what to get our grandson. He's the main person we buy gifts for and our real joy to shop for.

Wishing you a mad burst of shopping energy this week. lol
