LOL, Luvian, it might be a wee bit cold, but then, I like cold pizza. Night, Cloudy.

Ah, a late night in the RP forum for me tonight. But now that that is done with, I'll be off to bed.

Garnet FalconDance · 12-23-2002, 08:25 AM

Morning all! Did everyone survive last minute shopping---or are some of you waiting til the last last minute?!?

Actually the stores weren't bad yesterday. 'Course Budha has one last present to pick up tonight at CompUsa, so he may be a bit frazzled when he gets home from work. I was livid Fri night when he drug his happy little ass home at *3* am!!!---til I fi=ound out he'd done all his Christmas shopping after work. Hard to stay peeved at a man who is positively beaming and pleased with himself for thinking of everyone else...::sigh::

Elif Godson · 12-23-2002, 08:45 AM

LOL garnet, hehe aint we men stinkers when we do that

Well the wife managed to spend my whole Christmas bonus yesterday

She kept saying we neeed to buy more for the children and I had to keep reminding her of the budget, I hate that. But hey when when you earn peanuts for salary and you have to pay in pay in bag full's ya need to watch where toss em

But they both made out like bandits, she is upst because the baby will be gettting more then our oldest abd she wanted to keep it balanced but then when you can get toddler items at lesser price then thing's an 8 year old want's of course she is going to get more.But now she has it in her head that she has to get more presents. I just love this time of year, spend spend spend spend spend spend spend spend spend spend spend spendspend spend spend spend spend spendspend spend spend spend spend spendspend spend spend spend spend spendspend spend spend spend spend spend

Hi Turnip, Afternoon, Borvik! Hope you had a good night Lord Starshadow!

LOL@ Luvian's extra mushrooms... [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img] eeeeeeeeeew! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Garnet, I've done my shopping but not all my wrapping or cards! [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] But I will work on that stuff tonight and tomorrow. I saw the crowds in the mall on Saturday because I was at the theater there to see the Two Towers.

Garnet FalconDance · 12-23-2002, 09:39 AM

Yep, Cloudy, know what you mean. I forgot a few things I'd planned on getting but otherwise am quite pleased with the purchases. Of course, Budha told me he'd finish the wrapping (except for yesterday's get) while I took the kids shopping for each other....but when I got home, he sheepishly admitted that he'd wrapped most of the packages and then wandered off to the neighbor's house and gotten talking.......

Cloudbringer · 12-23-2002, 09:58 AM

Awww Elif. Sounds like your wife is just trying to keep things as even as she can from the start. I can say that at that age they may not notice it but later on, most siblings DO notice if they get less than the others. You're right, though, the older they get the less you can buy for the same money!

LOL! Aww, now THAT sounds very familiar! Oh Jiiiiiiiiiiim...

At least he did some of it! I don't mind wrapping but I do hate last minute shopping when I HAVE to do it. If I WANT to look for 'one more thing' it's ok but needing to go to be sure you've covered everyone you buy for is rough. I hate making snap decisions on gifts and often the stores won't have what you planned to get to begin with!
