Guess who got in a little Christmas shopping today

While my wife was putting up the Christmas decorations, I headed out into the wild, wild, world of retail and spent an hour picking up a few things. It wasn't much because my daughter is still in Iowa and, as anyone of you that know me can attest, I suck at buying presents for my wife.

Fortunately, my daughter will be home on the 22nd so we are going to go out for an hour or two on the 23rd and get some gifts that might actually be nice.
