12/20/2001 Entry: "So long, money"

I just did all my Christmas shopping earlier today. I went with a friend, and we decided the best way we could both get our shopping done is if we took turns in buying our gifts. This was a bad judgment call on her behalf since, while she took about 10 minutes to find each of her presents, I took a solid 40 minutes or so for each of mine. We started at midday and finished at around 9pm.

And the thing is, I even planned out what I was going to get everyone for their presents. Yet when it came down to it, I ended up getting them all completely different things.

My friend was very patient with me. I’d spend half an hour waffling over to buy my brother either the new N*Sync CD or a velvet Jesus (both of which I assume he probably wants), and then, as soon as we went shopping for something she needed, I would get all fidgety and bored after 3 minutes.

I also got around to using my credit card finally. Ever since I signed up for it, it’s been sitting in my wallet just along for the ride, waiting for it’s opportunity to help me build a healthy credit rating (or to put me into a spiraling, uncontrollable debt. Whatever.)

I felt pretty cool knowing I don’t have to pay for Christmas with actual, real money.
