This challange is obvious to all men. the last minute christmas gifts. i haven't bought anything yet and its almost noon. lets do this! whats the over under on me forgettting something and having to buy it tomarrow? i'd give my self a healthy 70/30 split. i think i'll be ok but lets find out. today i throw myself at the mercy of the holiday crowds and fight every other slacker in america at our big box stores and malls. bring it america. ITS ON!

God speed sir! You may be earning a few man points if you pull this one off. I was spent after one store and couldn't imagine having to go to more. Luckily, i was able to order half my stuff online to cut the burden. Sure i paid excessive amounts for 1-day shipping, but thats my pain for waiting till the last minute.

UPDATE: Success!!

it only took 5 hours but i did it all today. i got the same amount of crap for everyone and didn't break the bank. i was actualy surprised to not have that much trouble today. bestbuy was a mad house and so was the amll but all the other stores i went in were ok. are people really not the procrastinating slackers i suggest they are? i think not. there were a few things that i wasn't able ot get but over all everything i thought of was available and i was able to find crap to fill in.

i was hoping to do all my shopping online this year but i just never got around to it, like every year. part of it is that i'm just not in the holiday spirit this year. for whatever reason it just doesn't feel like christmas. my thanksgiving was kind of a bust so maybe thats it. either way, i think i achieved all three man points today. mission accomplished

sounds like my shopping. i planned to do it all on saturday, but lunch with joe and amanda turned into a 2.5hr ordeal. i went to a few stores and got a few things, but i definitely had to finish it on sunday, along with my sister and a hangover.

good seeing everyone at ron's. that was awesome, hangover notwithstanding.
