hello, online shopping!!

ok, so most of you know i'm a sucker for the holidays. big time.

starting well before the fourth of july, i start feeling the urge to listen to traditional carols (traditional, mind you... strictly traditional) and get that warm and fuzzy feeling that only comes once a year. i can't wait for a certain local radio station (yes, it would be 'the breeze') to start playing holiday tunes 24/7 (usually the first day of november, at 12 am on the dot. not that i stay up for it, but it's nice to know they keep a schedule). while we don't do the santa/tree/light-up-the-neighborhood thing, i still love the holidays.

now, keeping in mind that i lovelovelove the holiday season, let me tell you why i hate going shopping during said wonderful season.

guess how long it took me to stop at target for the three necessary items you see in the following photo. go ahead, guess.

eh, i'll just tell you.

45 minutes.

diapers, wipes and baby wash.

45 minutes.

no joke.

i didn't even stop to look around at other things.

quick in-and-out.

f-o-r-t-y-f-i-v-e

m-i-n-u-t-e-s.

that's not including parking lot time...

'tis the season for defensive driving, let me tell you!!

never mind the fact that i had two hungry kids with me, anxious to get home.

what i really wanted to do was get home and work on this:

next year i will be stockpiling diapers beginning in september. goodness knows that the halloween hoopla is almost as bad as the christmas rush nowadays.

or maybe, just maybe, i'll become a certified temporary hermit. that's what shopping the internet was made for right? you can buy something with the click of a button, and a few days later it shows up on your doorstep.
