Ok, is it just me, or are the stores filled with crap this year? I went shopping today with my sister in law and Stella and we walked the entire mall and also went to Old Navy and Best Buy and I bought 2 Christmas presents. I was hoping to get more of it done, but I just didn't see anything that I thought anyone would like. I don't get it. I realize that the economy is awful and that people are not spending as much as they usually do, but maybe if there were better choices, we'd spend more and the stores would make some money. My sister in law had every intention of buying a pair of boots today and we went to probably 8-10 stores and she didn't find any that she liked. The assortments just are not that great this year.
I did find another toy for Stella, but those are not hard to find at all. I could spend thousands of dollars on her if I bought her everything that I saw that I think she'd have fun playing with. I'm sure that will get to be more and more fun every year. This year I think she'll be able to open the presents on her own and she'll even get excited over some stuff, but it'll be next year and especially the year after that when she'll really understand and get crazy over Christmas. This year will also be the last year that I won't have to worry about her getting into the presents and trying to grab ornaments off of the tree.
Anyway, I guess I can trying looking around some more for things that people might like and want over the next couple of weeks, but if there not anything new from what I saw today every body might be getting gift cards this year. I honestly don't mind them. Then I can go shopping and pick out stuff for myself. But I know a lot of people think they are impersonal. We'll see, maybe I'll find some good stuff soon.

Maybe we should exchange $50 bills. ;)
