The handyman finally showed up. Only 5 hours late. And now he is going out to get supplies... He promises he'll actually come back soon. TCG had a half day at work, but he seems to think that mailing out Christmas cards is more important than going to pick up my shiny new computer.
Hey, man, where are my pants? I have my hippo dignity!

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
ISTG, people, next year I'm doing the cards and all the Christmas stuff in AUGUST. I can't deal.
Also, when someone asks you what you want for Christmas/birthday/whatever, (and someone is me and you is my sister), and you say, oh, I don't want anything! or oh, I don't care, anything is fine... that's not actually helpful, okay? Because you can't get nothing and you don't want stuff from ThinkGeek. Dang it.

Gift cards - that's what I've had to resort to.

I finished shopping early this year and I have to say it is annoying me. I can't stop looking and adding little things here and there for the kids (they don't need MORE). I'm also going a bit nuts waiting for them to open their presents. I'm tired of keeping the secrets. Heck, I even bought K-Bug's birthday present already and that is over 3 months away. Gahhhhhhhhh.

The trifecta of perfect gifts for the hard-to-buy for.
