This weekend, there was a guy selling T.M.X. Elmos out of the trunk of his car by my house. They retail for $40. I don't know what he was selling his stockpile for, so I am still unaware of the price of good parenting and true holiday spirit.

Most of my shopping is done. I still need to buy Chap-Stick for baby Earen. Chap-Stick tubes are his new favorite toy.

I need to wait until next week to buy my friend April her
(perishable) present. She never reads this site (which would require her learning how to turn on a computer), so I don't mind saying that I'm breaking my "No gifts for people that don't share my DNA or my bathroom" rule to get her and her family a gift as a thank you for watching Bean Thursday nights while Dim and I go to Greek School. She loves Vosges chocolate truffles, so I'm going to drive down to the forum next week to buy her a truffle sampler. I don't know about the mixture of indian curry and chocolate, or paprika and chocolate, but she raves about it, so I guess that they're good.

I sent the Christmas card picture off to be developed, and ordered stamps from the post office web site this morning. I just hope that they get here in time for me to dilly dally long enough about getting them out in the mail. I need to build in a "dilly dally" factor to my schedule. It's why I have to get up three hours before church starts. This level of procrastination takes skill, man.
