Day Off?
Today, I took the day off to do some Xmas shopping. I drove over 100 miles to 4 different malls to pick up 5 things that I needed. This took approximately 8 hours.
I already have to return 2 things because I consistently forget that the rest of the world is not left-handed.
It cannot be disputed that I was born without a shopping gene.
(I might be coaxed into admitting that shopping could’ve taken a mere 7 hours if I hadn’t spent some time giggling like a dope while clicking headlamps on and off in REI, but I’d you’d have to give up some small secret of your own first.)

At least you’ve started shopping…I haven’t even considered it yet.
I’ve been known to grab the tin pots in the camping section at REI, Dick’s or EMS and start pounding on them in a “musical” fashion, much to the utter embarrassment of my companions.
Oh and I once crawled in a tent and jumped out at each sales person that walked by and yelled “BEAR”, just because.
Yes, I am oh-so ma-ture.

Even though you’ve already given up the goods…
I got banned from Filene’s in the Cape Cod Mall for running up the down escalator.
Repeatedly.
Wonder if the Security Guard still works there? I’ve still got shitpiles of shopping to do.
