BIG TIME PROCRASTINATION

I have a secret to share. I have not done one bit of Christmas shopping. I have apparently become really good at procrastinating.

I'd like to say that this is something I have never done before, but then I remember my last semester of graduate school. I had two weeks to pack up to move to North Carolina to take a job and I had a fifty page paper to write. 

 So I am going to remedy this. Today I am going to........okay, I confess that I am going to an auction. 

 Tomorrow, I will Christmas shop. My sister double dog dared me, so I really have no choice. 

 See you at the mall. Seriously, I hate the mall. I will definitely not be there. Maybe I can find some really cute and unique gifts at the mini mart. My brother used to do that on Christmas eve, and believe me his gifts were truly unique.

    I have not done a bit of shopping either. I do not like the mall at all!!! I really don't like shopping unless the store is pretty empty and the shopping is absolutely necessary. My brother used to shop the last minute also and bought the very best gifts and one that you absolutely loved.

      Christmas just seems to have somehow crept up on us this year. I'm still trying to get over summer :)

      I think maybe I need to start first. I have never done this before :)

    Why not give some of your vintage finds in your shop? I'd love a gift like that if I was your relative!

      I usually do give things from my shop, but for some reason I wanted to do something different this year. However, my daughters will probably get one vintage thing from me as they love it almost as much as I do.

    The caption on the picture says it all! Lol I hate the mall too. Amazon is my new best friend. Good luck with the shopping. An auction sounds like way more fun! :-)

      The auction was definitely way more fun. I have to be dragged kicking and screaming to get me into the mall.
