you break it you bought it

Good lord. Be forewarned that I'm sure the upcoming posts will all be about shopping. The holiday season is upon us and I gotta get my a$$ in gear.

"Pre-kid" - I was on the ball. I had all my shopping done by October. I SAID OCTOBER. Now I'm way behind.

My father in law has an annual pass from Hawaii, meaning that he can travel to and fro whenever he damn well pleases. Well that thing's going to expire in December and he's not renewing it. So my sis-in-law and I came up with a plan for him to fly out here with their gifts and take my gifts back. Brilliant, eh? Except he could only get a flight for...one...day. Doh. So he's flying here on a Monday and leaving on a Wednesday. Ha. Good thing he's retired.

Anyway - he's coming early December, which doesn't leave me much time to shop. Today we went to Crate and Barrel and the kid took it upon himself to grab a stack of ceramic bowls while still in his stroller. Nice. Thank god we caught him just as he was pulling them off the shelf toward the ground...
