I am going Christmas shopping with MIL tonight. Just fucking shoot me please.

I. DO NOT. DO. STORES. Around the holidays. I do 100% of my Christmas shopping (and regular shopping, and grocery shopping) online (usually Amazon) because I hate being around fucking shopping people. But she likes me to come with her to find stuff for my kids, and I honestly think she just likes to have an excuse to girl spend time together without H. It's really sweet, so FINE.
Same, boo. I got all of my gifts on Amazon with the exception of going to GameStop for an Xbox subscription card. The only reason I'm shopping tonight is for all the food and stuff I need for the big dinner on Saturday. I would probably cry if someone tried to get me to go present shopping with them right now.

All of my friends are fully aware that if they want me to go Christmas shopping with them this weekend, they have to feed me, ice cream me, and take me out for a drink afterward.

I do all of my Christmas shopping online, because fuck that.

Ah te joys of living in a small mountain town. No malls. Target and Walmart are 26 miles away. Grocery stores are little more crowded, but not too bad.

Sure the private plane parking at the airport starts to fill up (don't you just hate when you can't find plane parking?) and restaurants will be a little crazy during the next few weeks, but overall, it's not too bad.

I would pretty much kill to live in a small mountain town this time of year. We have to go grocery shopping on Saturday since we're out of town right now, and... I just can't. I'm so scared. We have to, though, because I procrastinated on putting my baking list together, which means I didn't know which ingredients I'd need until last night.

I used an Excel spreadsheet to organize my ingredients, how much I'd need, and which aisle they're in. I hope it helps. I am not above ramming people with my cart. I HATE when a mom and her four kids plant themselves in the middle of the fucking aisle... or walk at a snail's pace... or exist near me...

hahah my FI flys into the small mountain towns all the time. He's a charter pilot and most of the time he's flying oil workers to and from camps, but pretty often he gets the buddies who want to fly to the coast to go fishing for the weekend. Or to the mountains for a ski weekend. Must be nice. Although I guess FI gets to vicariously live that kind of life since he has to take them there and then hang around waiting for them to want to leave.

Internet has been down since my last post here. Barely can get cell service. (Need an internet booster) Actually only got it about 15 mins ago after trying for an hour.

So I popped open a beer.

I've been having a crappy few days. Hormones blow.

Tonight a friend & I are going to a quote-along of "Christmas Vacation". I'm definitely looking forward to it!

We're doing the same thing! Alamo?

Yes ma'am!

I was so mad, I ordered all the gifts online for niece and nephew because I hate stores at holiday. They sent me 1 completely wrong item. I call the store and ask if I can exchange it there and they say yes. So I brave the fucking crowds at Babies R Us and they tell me you can't exchange this here. They will email you a return shipping label and they will send you the right one. I was so mad that I went there for no reason!

Tonight- nothing. Couch. popcorn.

@ShesSoCold‌ I'm gonna pretend you didn't say that.

I GOT SOME WEDDING PRINTS TODAY! Just the few I ordered as gifts and one for us. But now I have to brave the gauntlet that is the one main road with all the stores and go to the source of all evil - Bed Bath & Beyond - because they have a pretty frame I want for my bridesmaids. Bollocks.

This is pretty much my requirement all year long. I loathe shopping anytime of year.

I have writer's block on my current novel, so I'm starting a new one. It's erotica.

Unfortunately I am wearing my enormous footie pajamas and don't feel extremely sexy. Oh well. Guess it's time to have a cocoa with enough amaretto to make me forget I don't feel sexy.

jenna8984 · December 2014

@inkdancer I want footie pjs!!!

They are ridiculous and I love them. Warm feeeets. But they were a gift, and they're unisex, so the foot part is way too big and they flop around comically.

I'm laying around being a pile of poop. These last few days at the daycare have been crazy.

theartistformerlyknownas · December 2014

Boo hiss. BB&B didn't have the frames I wanted, so now I have to do more shopping. And I found out SIL is coming in... So I had to get her as present. Naked2 Basics, wahhh.

beethery · December 2014

I got done with shopping by 7. Left each store as a giant crowd was coming in.

Now I gotta remember that I was super motivated to clean earlier... but it's hard because Schultz is laying across my arm while I type, purring his little face off.

lurkergirl · December 2014

I did ALL the Christmas shopping today. One mall, 3 extra stores, 5 hours, and a shitload of money later we're almost finished!

lovegood90 · December 2014

Wow so many of you are Christmas shopping, good luck and godspeed! I'm so glad I only had a few things to get and got it out of the way.

I went to an after work Xmas get together with coworkers, now drinking some red wine watching fresh prince on Netflix!

Amazon is the fucking shit.

5 hours. This bitch kept me out shopping for 5 FUCKING HOURS. She dragged me to:

-Target

-Homegoods

-Michael's

-Gordman's

-Walmart

-Hobby Lobby (fucking gag, but I refused to spend a dime)

-Toys R' Us

-Kohl's

I WANT TO DIEEEEEE. Someone talk me down!

ashley8918 · December 2014

Oh, and now i'm fucking crafting because I am making a gift for a coworker, and she is off all of next week. It is 10:30 pm, I just started, and I just popped a Xanax. Bets on if I can finish before I pass the fuck out?

theartistformerlyknownas · December 2014

I found a white owl tree topper at Pier 1 that I wanted SO BADLY but I knew H would give it the "dafuq" face so I had to leave it behind.

Good news, I THINK I finally remembered all the people I was supposed to buy for. I should be done.

manillabar · December 2014

Online shoppers FTW! You will not find me anywhere near a mall dung the holidays except under duress. FI wanted to go to the mall today after I got out of work to get his mom's gift. I quickly set him straight. We ordered his mom's gift on Amazon in like three minutes and spent the rest of the night relaxing

holyguacamole79 · December 2014

I had a great time at the quote along. I've had a rough day, and the movie cheered me up. Then, I made the fatal mistake of talking to my mother. Now I drink.
