Oh, and besides a random popcorn popper that I may possibly order online, I am done shopping. For everyone. Okay I lied. I still need random little gifts for my DL peeps, but that's easy. Once again, good luck to all!!!!
Originally Posted By sherrytodd OK, I thought I had it all under control. Guess I was repressing, because I lost it today.

Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter Thank you so much for your sweet concern, ilvdland, but don't you worry your pretty little head about me. Lisann secretly adores me. Idolizes me even, you might say. But she's a little shy, so that's why she goes overboard in her attempts to cover up her adoration. It's kind of cute, actually. So rest assured that her only attempts to go homegirl on me will likely involve her stalking me on my next trip. Again. The poor dear. Oh, and sherrytodd. . .would it be too much trouble to overnight some of that egg nog to me? Perhaps it would prove equally calming and inspirational to me. Because I'm thinking that at some point in the next few days, I really ought to finish buying presents, do all the wrapping of presents and perhaps even purchase some food for consumption on Christmas Day.

Not the egg nog itself, mind you. I can't abide the stuff. But I'll have a sip of whatever's in it to improve the mood!

My husband takes one look at me at the end of the day and makes a lovely little eggnog for me. They go down like milkshakes! yum-yum!

Originally Posted By JohnS1 "But there is a cool new store right by Sears. Nothing in there is over $14.99 Shirts, Shoes, Jackets, Jeans." Yeah, I like the Salvation Army Store! Just kidding, of course. But nobody I am buying for wants clothes. Actually, that's quite refreshing, because I dread going in clothes stores.

(We is used as the "editorial" or "royal" we and may be an indication that only one of us did the shopping, wrapping and mailing of gifts.)
