Do Not Go Gentle Into that Department Store...

[missmiah]

Due to schedules and computer problems and YIM bitchyness and cooties and the fact that I seem to be asleep or on the other end of the spectrum and a walking zombie from lack of sleep... I haven't RP'd since Thursday or Friday. I also have done crap as far as modding duties for the same reason. I know, I am teh suck.

On to more important things. I am going... shopping. In less than twenty minutes I'm going to brave the department stores and a chain outlet or two here in town in an effort to find the ever elusive Christmas Gifts.

I am in desperate need of some help, here. Seriously. Can anyone suggest something a brand new third grade teacher would like? Or her also a teacher but for older students husband? The Sis is proving difficult again this year.

Also... I hate, hate, hate, hate shopping alone. No one to giggle with. No one to talk to as I studiously ignore salestaff. Where is the fun in wandering up and down the aisles alone?

There is a tiny chance that if I'm still out in public this afternoon I may attempt to see the HP movie since no one has been on-line to RP lately. But then again, there's a much better chance that by this afternoon I'll be ready to rip out my hair and have come home to be hermit like once more. We shall see.

No help here, I'm afraid. Just wanted to pop in and offer good luck wishes. Christmas shopping can be brutal.

Wish I could be there with you!

If there's no friends available to shop with, I'm one of those people that makes the gameplan of planning ahead what I want to find (as well as planning a backup gift) then getting in, quickly finding said gift with minimal browsing, purchasing and getting out.

As far as the new third grade teacher, a gift cert for a spa for pampering of if you're looking to spend less, seeing if a local school of massage (read: less expensive option) has a gift certificate program?

Also, seeeeee the HP movie - it's fab.

That is a *FANTASTIC* suggestion!

Dittoes. Wish we were closer so we could do a communal-shopping endeavor. That would be cool. Capitalism and mockery.
