Okay. So to preface this, let me say that I have failed EPICALLY in Christmas shopping this year. For the past three weeks or so, I have told anyone who mentioned Christmas to SHUT UP because I STILL HADN'T BOUGHT ANYTHING AT ALL.

So today I finally changed that.

I did every single last ounce of Christmas shopping over the course of one day.

And not only did I simply do all my shopping, no. I live my life in this lovely college town known as Statesboro where we have the following places to shop:

1. The "Small." Short for Statesboro Mall and is also a gross OVERstatment of this place's size. Useless, in a word.
2. Walmart.

I was at Walmart at 11 pm last night to purchase a bottle of wine and a strainer [I MADE MULLED WINE, IT WAS AWESOME.] and I was frankly terrified. I DID NOT KNOW THERE WERE THAT MANY PEOPLE LEFT IN MY TOWN WHEN THE COLLEGE WAS OUT OF SESSION HOLY SHIT. It was dangerous at 11 pm. What is that crap. But in a nutshell, Statesboro is NOT what we call Prime Shopping District.

So RL!Steph and I had an adventure today! I got up early on my FIRST DAY OFF and we went to Savannah and spent OVER 4 HOURS in the Mall. Plus hit up TWO fabric stores. One of which was our last stop and oh my god we were not sane by that point. I spent so much money today. ;___; There went my paycheck. WHOOSH, gone. So we got back from Savannah [about a 45 minute drive btw] around 7, ran around Statesboro doing errands, I packed up my clothes and stuff, we went to her house and WRAPPED everything, and at 10 pm, I got BACK in my car and made the hour and a half drive to Augusta. Where I walk in the door and am accosted by MANY PEOPLE and end up watching movies until, oh, now.

Suffice it to say that I am exhausted.

And I didn't even get any reading done today. ;___;

Happy Christmas Eve, folks. Hope you did your shopping considerably sooner than I did.

Hoshit, there goes the neighborhood.

A similar fate was beheld at my house. But at least we already knew that we weren't going to be giving and getting much. Woe to the large family with the small wallet. *sigh*

But at least I'm here one more time to share it with everyone.

Merry Christmas, you.

Hahaha, it sorta sucks dealing with all the OTHER last minute shoppers.

Merry Christmas to you too!

Have you changed her name to RL!Steph to avoid confusion?

Basically yes. To avoid confusing ME.

YOU SHOULD!! When I hadn't talked to you much I didn't think about it too much but now I'm like. ".....Uhh. Crap." AND MUST HAVE SOME WAY OF KEEPING YOU SEPARATE.

Well I'm smart. I assume you're talking about her!

Because you're smart. I just assume that with the 08235235 on my flist, most of them aren't. XD

Well I'm silly enough to assume I had adventures with you in Savannah.

Adventures with me in Savannah are the stuff of dreams, so I guess I can't blame you.

We called the mall in Marquette the Small, too. There was hardly anything there. Though it was called that only because of the size. It was attached to the K-Mart, too. There was a little entrance/exit between the mall and K-Mart, so you could pop on over to one or the other without having to go outside.

Happy Christmas Eve to you, too!

That sounds like a chaotic but adventurous time there. Enjoy your Christmas! ♥
