Christmas shopping

I realize that it is not July but it might as well be. I feel as if we're shopping that early. My immediate family is celebrating Christmas over Thanksgiving to accommodate some out-of-town siblings so that means Christmas shopping starts...yesterday. In fact, tonight we have a babysitter lined up so we can hit the town and do some power shopping.

I actually do enjoy the pre-shopping activities like price/feature comparative research and creating my budget spreadsheet that shows my current and past budgeted vs. spent and what we bought each person in years past. And, I don't mind the actual shopping so much either as I tend to do 75% of it online. The only part I do not enjoy is wrapping.

Anyone out there want to swap talents? I'll do your gift research and buying if you'll wrap my gifts. Let me know!

How about a gift wrapping for photography trade?? I like to do the wrapping and your pictures are great! I don't know how good of a subject my 21-month-old son would be though!

You're on!

This really confirms your reigning title of "spreadsheet geek." You have it hands down.

P.S. I'll gladly do your wrapping.

Thx for your kind words Olivia. I know that catching a photo-glimpse of my near 21 month old is next to impossible, they just NEVER stop moving!
