Register bells ring, are you listen'n

Today's the day to get that holiday shopping done. The hardest thing for me with holiday shopping is to:

a) Shop for others instead of myself. I always seem to see *just* the shoes/sweater/jeans/knick-knack/etc. for me!

b) Not buy gratuitous food gift-baskets. They make them look soooo good, and I always want them all...once again, usually for me.

c) Not throw angstchic off a mall balcony for fun.

d) Not chew gum while shopping, as I always end up chomping it like a rabid cow.

e) Not be dazzled blind by all the beautiful Christmas foo-foo, music, and evil shiny electronics. 'Cause they produce this hypnotic state that usually makes me buy stuff....for me.

Heh.
