The last two weeks have not been the greatest. I’ve been sick for about an entire week of the last two. This really, really sucked. As a result, I didn’t really feel like doing much of anything. When I have done things, it’s been because I needed to, not because I wanted to.

I have gotten a decent dent in the Christmas shopping done. Today I figured out what to get for Dean and my sister. I was going to get my sister’s today, but I wasn’t going to wait in the huge line at Best Buy, which went from the front nearly to the back of the store. The item is readily available and I may even be able to get it at Wal-Mart tomorrow. While I know what I’m getting Dean, I have a few options that I want to contemplate before actually making a purchase.

I have not got my parents’ gift yet. I need to find a time during the middle of the day to get to the Civic Center to get their gift. I’m super-excited to get their gift, but it’s going to be a trick getting down there when the box office is open.

I still need to get Beth’s gift. I’ve known what I want to get her for quite a while now, but I’m afraid that it won’t be here when she’s home. I guess if it’s not I could always mail it. All of that ClipperShip expertise at work could get me the best shipping price between post office, UPS, and FedEx. I’ve heard that if we reimburse accounting we can use our company’s shipping system for personal shipments. If not, the post office and UPS Store aren’t exactly far away from home.

I got the most awesome book on Design Patterns at the bookstore this week. It’s called Head First Design Patterns. The book is absolutely hilarious and presents the patterns in an entertaining way. Then again, how could I not like a book that has a section with a girl meditating by a laptop titled, “Be the JVM!” I mean, really.
