Shopping...

So, I'm just guessing that you have a preconceived assumption that all girls like to shop. Well get ready because I'm going to ruin that generalization. Shopping, to me, is the worst thing in the world. I dread when I have to go and buy something. It just sucks. Unless it's small snacks. Then for the most part I'm okay with it. Other than that, all the other types of shopping is horrible. I don't like buying myself clothes, or anything else. Sometimes I think it's fun to shop for other people, for example Christmas presents!, but other than that I despise when I have to leave the comforts of my home and go and face all the other ravenous consumers of my town. So lately, I've been working on doing about an hour and a half worth of shopping each day so I don't have to completely frazzle my poor precious mind and go and buy all the presents I need at once. Now, you see. That technique may not seem that bad for you but let me assure you that I NEED to do this. In fact, I'm going to spell this out for you. I have to shop for two families. Divorced parents are nice at times, but then that also means more people to think about. With my dad, I have to shop for six people. And apparently two dogs. Don't ask me why, but my younger sister always feels the need to buy them some more annoying squeaky toys that will make me want to tear my hair out. And if that's not bad enough, I also then have to balance that with buying my mom's side of the presents. Now that means seven MORE people. Yeah, that's where it gets a little overwhelming. That's still not the best part though. Not even close. On some people I have money limits but also I have to try to get as close to that value as I can. With my mom, I have to try to spend $100 on some. Sometimes it's easy to fill that, but also what you want to get them is a little too expensive so you pair up with another family member to get that, but that also means figuring out how much each person comes out with so we don't mix up our allotted money. Thankfully, with my dad he just gives us some money and we figure it out. Let me say that, sometimes I try to give quite a bit of money back. I just can't think of enough stuff to spend money on to give certain people. In conclusion, I have decided to hole myself up in my house forever and just order stuff online. Stores are too crazy and other customers always give me that look when I walk up to the register with an array of towels, soap, food, movies, cds, shoes, jackets, gift cards, and books. Yeah, it's not fun to get that look.
