FUCK IT'S COLD

No seriously. I cannot get warm. Maybe I'm dying inside.

Anyhoo...
Hope everyone got their shopping done! I'm such a freak when it comes to Christmas shopping. Gift giving for me is an extremely personal experience. It's an opportunity to show someone that you are interested in them and that you pay attention to their lives...ie. Artgrl's kick ass gift to me this year.

However, it can be a curse to get caught up in the quest for the perfect gift. A lot of the time I just have to go wandering and just let the universe guide my wallet.

And then there are the people who are just impossible to shop for and I invariably end up going the way of the Gift Certificate or "Gift Card" as the kids are calling em these days with their video games and sugar drinks...

And then there's the Grab Bag option. I know a few big families who do this simply because there are too many damn people to buy damn presents for and not enough damn duckets with which to damn buy them. But, I gotta tell you. I'm not down with that. In that case, I probably would just go Gift Card-because who knows who the hell I'm buying for? It's not like Uncle Leo is going to enjoy the beautiful Pashmina I got on sale at Nordstrom Rack.
I don't have an Uncle Leo.

So, thus begins the Christmas binge. And by binge, I mean in every sense of the word. Ugh. And then it just goes right on into the New Year. 2005.
Jebus.
I'm gonna be 30.
