Thank Goodness For Online Shopping

Online shopping is saving my butt this Christmas. M and I are headed back down to Houston on Christmas Eve (fingers crossed for getting out of the airport on time), which normally wouldn't be that bad, but the new restrictions on baggage and whatnot have made it much more difficult to take presents with you on the plane. Good thing online shopping/shipping exists.
The downside is that online shopping doesn't mean that it takes any less time, even though you have to be done earlier so that everything ships out on time. It is just as hard to find a present for the husband who buys himself everything, and when he does make a list, his parents go and get everything on the list. When you do find him the perfect herringbone coat that looks just like the one in the really expensive store but only costs half as much, and then it goes on back order it's a problem. When you scramble to find another and he tells you that he absolutely doesn't want a coat, it's an even bigger problem. So annoying. Luckily, I did manage to find a styling pair of shoes that he's been talking about, which is fitting since I think he's also getting me a pair of shoes.
