Friends, I'm going to gloat about something, please don't hate me.
We have all of our S-a-n-t-a C-l-a-u-s shopping finished!!
And IT'S ALL PAID FOR!!!!!!
WHOO HOO!!!!
You are just going to have to use your imagination to picture me doing the happy dance.
For those of you who are Dave Ramsey followers with kiddies, you need to know that ToysRUs.com takes PAYPAL!!
You have no idea how wonderful that is for me, let me count the ways:
1-I did not have to leave the house(shopped in my PJ's while watching NASCAR)
2-Did not have to deal or cope with traffic! The mall crawl is my personal version of hell!
3-Didn't have to deal with screaming kids-mine or anyone else's!
4-Didn't have to fight with other whacked out parent over the last item on shelf! Nobody got punched! As Miss Martha would say "That's a GOOD THING."
5-I used my PayPal account that is tied to my checking account it pulled the money right out and Christmas is PAID IN FULL!!!!
Now we just have to wait for the UPS man to deliver it, and then find a place to hide it once it's here.
Have I told you how much I love the Internet, because baby I do!
YOU HAVE HEARD OF STUCK ON STUPID, TRY BEING STUCK ON LUNATIC!
SOMETIMES FUNNY, SOMETIMES SAD, BUT MOSTLY A CRAZY RIDE!

Gah! I've barely started!
But I am doing it online, like you, in my case while watching NFL. I have a few things on order, but I have a loooong way to go yet.
another thing is that it all comes in BOXES so you don't have to find any. WONDERFUL!!! I love it, I love it, I love it! (I'm done too!)
Can I send you my list?
i am so proud for you!!! i am almost finished!! :D
Awesome. I'm not worthy!!
Props to you, girl.
I finished a couple of weeks ago, but I bought very little. It's a simple Christmas this year.
I am very excited because we are nearly finished, too. Travel Man found a great deal on something for the girlies (all from Santa - Mommy and Daddy bought a Mac for the family), but Toys R Us was sold out by the time we got the kids to bed last night. Ah, well!
But Santa found a toy that we weren't even sure was made any more ("Skiddles" or "Skittles"), and we sent our nieces' gifts to my sister for her to wrap.
And Dave would be proud. We budgeted for it and used PayPal, too! Hooray!
What a difference from last year, when we charged it all and I wasn't sure how I was going to pay for anything.
