Same here!!! Darn teaching and grading and commenting! I’m spending the day finishing up work stuff, and then, like you, I MUST GO SHOPPING. I hate to buy just to buy. I always have visions of myself gathering items throughout the year, but alas, that never happens. And teaching most assuredly eliminates any shopping before Christmas week. Oy.
Godspeed. I hope the stores aren’t too crazy- I have to brave them this weekend and I’m not too thrilled about it. At least you can use the weekdays that might be a LITTLE less crowded!
Luckily no matter what you get Adrienne I have a feeling her reaction will be the same – to suck on it! So you’re set there. And just tell Meeker that Adrienne was this year’s gift to him I’m such a good problem solver!
So… did you get most of it done? Procrastination is awesome, it makes decision-making super easy:) “Hmmm, I wonder if I should get that for _____? Yup… next!”
I haven’t either! My in my defense I have to take a plane home and there are malls there. Never mind that I get home three days before Christmas Eve. Here’s a tip I learned from my grandma: make a card with images of the thing you are GOING to buy. AKA… say you plan to buy someone new tennis shoes. Go through all the ads and cut out pics of shoes. It will distract the person from realizing you just didn’t get to shopping.
No worries! I went out for my first gifts of the season today (and got my tree too…whoops! This is the one time, when you snooze you GAIN. 30% off of my 6.5 ft tree. BOOM!). I got some great stocking stuffers for Mom at World Market. Fortunately, I’m taking all of next week off of work, so it’s a shopping bonanza/excursion/mission impossible from Tuesday-Friday. But I feel good. You should too! There is PLENTY of time (and some crazy good deals!). Godspeed, my friend!
I haven’t either! At all. This worst part is I have no idea what to get anyone! Good luck with yours
You just made me sweat. GIT IT GIT IT!
SUCH CUTENESS! Doesn’t matter if you’ve bought a single gift with that girl hanging around, am I right?
Adrienne is the cutest
That picture just melts me heart.
*my… apparantly it’s talk like a pirate day ha.

Ahh, I don’t miss those days of just having ONE precious week off of work to do your errands/planning/cooking/shopping. Good luck!
We miss you though and when I get back from Vegas…I am stealing that little girl!
Vegas?! Have fun! And yes, let’s play when you get back!
I’m in the same boat as you, sistah!
Ummm..yeah…guess who’s joining you?? ME! I haven’t bought for Travis, or Katy or my parents…gah!
Is it too late to do online shopping?!
UGH same here!
I’m in the same boat. Let’s do this!!
Godspeed. I hope the stores aren’t too crazy- I have to brave them this weekend and I’m not too thrilled about it. At least you can use the weekdays that might be a LITTLE less crowded!
Absolutely! And…I still haven’t done it yet.
I’m right there with ya! I’m going out tomorrow!
Luckily no matter what you get Adrienne I have a feeling her reaction will be the same – to suck on it! So you’re set there. And just tell Meeker that Adrienne was this year’s gift to him
I’m such a good problem solver!
I think I’ll just get her a spoon from the kitchen drawer and put it under the tree. Thanks for your help…I couldn’t have done it without you!
Yes, baby A wants presents.
Omg, good luck!! I went to get groceries today and it was crazy busy and packed with people, haha
I just finished Christmas shopping (except cards and wrapping paper), and I started TODAY! Thanks to Amazon.
Yesssss! I did it all on Amazon last night at around midnight. What did people do before online shopping?!
I have no idea. I just hope the majority of it gets here before Christmas. I did not pay for expedited shipping. I’m a cheap-oh!
Neither did I – my shipping notice said it should get here by the 22nd…here’s hoping!
So… did you get most of it done? Procrastination is awesome, it makes decision-making super easy:) “Hmmm, I wonder if I should get that for _____? Yup… next!”
Most of it. On Amazon. Hallelujah.
Hola!
My comment is not about shopping, it’s about your baby girl! So cuuute!

Hah, I love that!
I just finished my shopping today. I’m impressed my husband actually started AND finished his today instead of Dec 23rd for once. Oh I’m so happy!
Good luck, Katie! I’m just about done but it’s a stressful task when you’re under pressure!
At least you have tree up!!

Thank you! And I LOVE World Market – maybe I will head there tomorrow! Thanks for the tip.
OMG her outfit is absolutely adorable!!! Hope you got most of your shopping done! I always slack on a few gifts until the very last minute lol.
