Why do I do this to Myself?!!
Every year, for as long as I remember, I've promised myself that I would not wait till the last minute to do Xmas shopping. Yet, again, I didn't follow through with that promise. Since today is Xmas Eve I thought I'd make a run for it first thing in the morning...of course that didn't happen. I left around noon. Then I call myself going to Best Buy to finally get Mary J Blige's and Jaime Foxx's cd's. As soon as I get there I'm faced with a line out the door. That was my cue to reverse my steps back to the car and go to the mall nearby to one of the smaller end stores to get the cds. Hell, I had to pay an extra $2 each for both cd's but at least I got them.You know it's Christmas when you drive around for 10 mins to find a parking space, wait another 5 minutes while the idiots occupying the space take forever and a day to put their things in the car and back out, then deal with a complete ass who shoots out of nowhere to steal my spot. After 20 minutes, I finally found parking...it was a 10 minute walk to the entrance of the mall but at least I finally made it, right? Guess what greets me when I enter the mall? People, more people, and even more people. Forget trying to get help from store reps, forget finding the appropriate size for a friend without offending her, and forget waiting in line for 20 minutes. The worst part of all of this is trying not to fall or bump into anyone on your way out of the mall carrying loads of stuff that isn't even for me.
Why do I do this to myself? Do I just like the punishhment or is there a little part of me that actually likes the hussle of Xmas shopping. Xtmas Eve in Jersey is like everyday in NYC. People trying to get where they need to be to get what they want as quickly as possible. Haaaaa...I love Xtmas Eve!
