I have had it up to my ears with all the stuff going on right now, so I made the decision. This weekend is going to be my Christmas shopping therapy weekend. Along with a few purchases for myself, I will be knocking as many people as possible off my list for this season as I can in one go.
My credit card better run while it can. Just quietly whimpering in my wallet and cowering will not be enough if I am in a bad mood when it comes retail therapy day.
Gotta get mom something useful, like a book or a movie, and some of her favorite candies if I can find things she will like. Dad has already had his gift picked out for a while now, and I already got him something anyway. What in the world I am going to get for a twenty-one year old brother that I hardly ever speak to is beyond me. All he does is play video games and sleep when he is not at college...
Probably the best person I am shopping for will be my lovely boyfriend of a year and a half. There are so many things I could get him, and so many things he would love to get from me. The thing is which one to surprise him with. I already gave him his one birthday/Christmas present more than a month earlier, because he really wanted this fancy tactical survival knife at the gun show we were at a few weeks back. Me, being the wonderful girlfriend that I am, I jumped at the chance to buy him something he wanted so badly, and something so useful. Smooth blade down the curved side; two sets of toothed blades in different sizes down the other side broken apart by the bend in the blade's back edge; compass and survival tools in the unscrewable compartment of the handle. It's a thing of beauty really...
A thing of beauty encased in a hunting camoflauge printed sheath, and even the knife itself is painted with hunting camo.
But anyway, retail therapy is my way of fixing the universe, and it gets expensive on me sometimes. This will not be one of those times, because I am only out to get Christmas stuff. Though I will be stopping to look for something in Hot Topic for myself, I half expect not to find it anyway. I never have much luck in that store when I go on retail therapy missions...
