Fini!

(I wish I knew the name of this tune....)

Duuun
DUNN
DA-DUUUUUMMMMM

BOOM, BOOM
BOOM, BOOM
BOOM, BOOM
BOOM, BOOM

(Those would be tympani drums, I believe)

Is it the Theme from 2001 Space Odyssey?

Anyhoodle - This anthem played in my mind last night as I hit the "Purchase" button on Amazon.com, thereby COMPLETING my Christmas shopping.

Honest to God, what did we do before The Interwebz?

Did I really pack myself into a mall - along with everyone else who didn't have Internet access because, well, it didn't exist?

Yes, I did. As a matter of fact, the most memorable anxiety attack of my life happened 25 years ago at Woodfield Mall in the days leading up to Christmas. :: shudder ::

ANYWAY - Woot! Done. Fini.

I feel like I should do something to celebrate.

Ah, but wait. There's still wrapping to be done. And wrapping, to someone with OCD tendencies, is like a person with a severe gluten allergy trying bake 10 dozen cookies. It ain't pretty.

I'm not in love with that analogy, but there you have it.
