December 2, 2004 Chistmas is fast approaching, so the pressure's on to buy my wife presents! This year I want to try and purchase everything online. I can't stand trying to weather the malls and the department stores looking for obscure items to buy. The only problem with Christmas shopping online is you have to start now to get your presents in time. And, of course, I'll have to intercept any packages that come before the little lady sees them. I'll probably start at Amazon since they offer free shipping if you buy enough. I just need to find some gifts on their site. If I'm lucky, I can buy the rest of my family (sisters and parents) gifts too online. But I need to get started now. School gets in the way though, as does my laziness. The semester is almost over, so the school problem will actually get worse leading up to Christmas with exams and homework. My wife is extremely busy with her schoolwork (her Masters program is waaay harder than my MA in Economics). She'll be the one with the real shopping problems, so I'll probably make her a list of what I want. That way i get what I want, but i also get a couple of surprises she always seems to think up herself. Anyway, that's all again! Adios, Jeff .
