Yesterday I did someting which is just the height of geekdom probably. While I was AT THE MALL to help Amy do some Christmas shopping for her mom and grandma, I used my Treo smartphone and ordered two items from Amazon. While walking in the mall, past stores which may well have had what I was ordering. Go me!
Rebecca had lots of problems with Amazon this year. I saw her warning, but went ahead and did most of my Christmas shopping at Amazon this year anyway. I did a little bit more at ThinkGeek and got one thing from CafePress. And yeah, I reluctantly got a few things in actual stores due to Brandy’s influence.
I did almost all of the shopping Saturday morning. Then little dribbles since then. I believe I am done now. The things I bought at the mall via my Treo on Amazon yesterday were the end of my shopping.
We have mailed most of the presents leaving from here already. One more box will go out in the next couple of hours. CafePress and ThinkGeek have not shipped yet. Neither has the CafePress one. As for Amazon… Out of 22 items ordered since the beginning of December… 13 have already shipped… (of which 7 have already been received)… which leaves 9 items which are “shipping soon”. They all say they should arrive at the 24th at the latest… but we shall see!
Anyway, ordered from Amazon while at the mall on my phone and ignoring the stores around me. Love it!
Um, now it is time to leave for the house inspection. Gulp. By the end of the afternoon we should know about that, and what the mortgage folks say. Gulp!
dork.
What, was that wrong?
I also want to point out that I forgot I also ordered one thing from Southwest Strings.
And by a couple of days ago everything had been shipped from every one of the vendors. As far as I know, everything will arrive everywhere by today. But if not, oh well, close enough.
I was actually planning to do Christmas in February or some such once I finished the October email count, but Brandy wouldn’t let me.
Now maybe Amy will WANT to use her bow.
She likes that is it purple at least!
