Unpossible right?

WRONG.

And no, it's NOT the Internet, although you'd think a computer guy like myself
would heavliy use it...

No, I'm a 'hands on, brick and mortar' kind of shopper. I'm not into getting
things, then returning them because they don't fit or whatever, because I
couldn't put my hands on it. Oh, I've done it, but every time I worry "it is
right?" And sometimes... no, it's not. Arrgh.

In any event, this Christmas, I've had... well, issues... shopping. I am just
that messed up, and so *today was the fracking day*.

One lucky thing is that we all in my groupage draw names, so I only have to
worry about 5 kids and 1 adult, and bring food... which reminds me, I have to
get that stuff to make the thing I'm makin'... meh.

So, anyway, filled with excitement, dread, and forboding, and also realizing
that even with 'just 6' people to deal with... this could take *all day*.

I was done in 2.5 hours. And that is mostly travel!

The shopping experience:

1) Get up, get dressed, deal with morning pains and such, get the fudge out of
the house.
2) Get fuel for Awesome.
3) Get fuel for myself. It is now 10:30, and off to...
4) Toys R Us.
5) Shop for boy, boy, girl, boy, girl, woman. DONE.
6) Head to home, but stop for lunch.
7) Actually get home, unpack the car.
8) Realize I might need tape... oh, and food things... no problem, laters.
9) Turn on computer, and post this just to brag.

That's right, Toys R Us had everything I needed, on Christmas Eve, including
what I needed for my adult. They are ALL getting what they would want/need/have
to have.

I'm just uber pleased with myself. And I thought this was gonna be horrible.

So, folks, remember, if you absolutely, positively, have to buy anything for
anyone and it has to be done in one stop, one day? Toys R Us. You could *live*
there, if they'd let you.

Merry Christmas to all, and Happy New Year too!

Edit:
I'm so sorry, folks. Many hours laters, I came back and re-read it. That looks so spammer. It's not. I am NOT pluggin' Geoffrey's place, honest. I just couldn't believe I'd done that, and felt like I should share.

Meh. I feel dumb now.
