Tis The Season

I really enjoy writing, but you wouldn't know it by my sorry effort over the last couple of years. It's shameful really. Although things could be better in Camelot right now (working hard on correcting that), I still have plenty of stories inside me that are itching to be told. I will do a better job of scratching that itch, and hopefully provide you with some witty prose while I'm at it.

 

Yesterday was spent perusing the local establishments in search of the season's best deals. Oh boy, Christmas Shopping!! 

 

Lori and I set out pretty early yesterday morning, hoping to conquer a monstrous gift list. The first stop....a quick trip to Costco. Ahh yes.....the proverbial "quick trip" to Costco. Let me ask you this...has anyone in the history of shopping trips to either Sam's or Costco ever been able to make a "quick trip"? Ummm......no. It never works that way. There is just too much stuff to ignore. Oh you try....everybody tries....but it never happens. Our "quick trip" lasted an hour. 

 

We left Costco loaded to the gills, and went home to unpack. After unloaded the car, it was off to THE MALL (insert maniacal laugh). Uhhh....you want to torture someone? You want to work every last nerve in someone's body? Send them to the mall during Christmas. What a beating. After "visiting" Dillards, Nordstoms, JCP and Macy's (which happed to be spread over every square inch of the mall) we headed.....no not home....oh no, no, no, no, no, ........we headed for Super Target. Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another 1hr of shopping. Woo Hoo!!!

 

We left Target at 2:40pm, after 6 total hours of shopping. You would think that one would be able to accomplish all they set out to do in that vast amount of time. Well....nope. Already been to Sam's, Lowes, and Kroger this morning, and today's beating has just started. Fa la la la la, la la la ugh..........
