Things you do until you drop...

That's it, I'm sending my upstairs neighbor abstinence pamphlepts.

I need to do holiday shopping. I'm going to be very tacky here and ask that if you think we are exchanging gifts and you are not a completely obvious person with whom I exchange gifts every year, let me know. Otherwise I'm likely to be the idiot who didn't get you anything. And if your present is late this year, it means one of two things. Either a) I'm intending to buy you things in London and/or Edinburgh or b) come on, how often do I give presents on time? I still have Hannah and Jeni's leg warmers from last Cranukah that will most likely be included in this year's package. Amy's bachelorette gift is hopefully going to show up in January (if all goes according to plan...). I'm a terrible person in this regard, I know, but I'd rather a gift be right than right now. On target than on time. Smelt it than dealt it. You get the idea.
