i officially hate shopping

i spent over 5 hours at the mall today getting the rest of my christmas shopping done. i started at 9am and by the time i was done, the mall was filled to capacity. i was carrying so many packaged that i had rope burn from my macy's bag. i couldn't wait to get out of there. the good news is that i got most of the people left on my list done. bad news is i can't pay for the elecricity bill this month. j/k i did get to sneak in a showing of happy feet, though, and it was very cute. well i am off to wrap some presents now while listening to the rain fall. happy weekend!
