A Child Of Atom

It has begun! Today we kicked of our annual Thanksgiving planning group, complete with spreadsheet menus to keep track of who is cooking what, and to make sure that a proper balance of dishes is prepared. And that means that Christmas is just around the corner as well... last year by this time I had 80% of my shopping completed. This year of course I'd place that number at 10%. I just haven't been ans conscientious about making purchases this year. Last year whenever I saw something online that seemed like a good gift idea, I simply bought it. Often without even knowing who exactly it was for. I could work out that part later. Maybe I haven't been perusing the right blogs this year for gift ideas? Maybe I've just been busier than usual? Who knows. All I know is that I have to kick it into gear.
