traveling tales from the exotic dinda

I just realized I DO have to go shopping for some things. . . me hates shopping. . . me hates holiday shopping . . . me out of ideas for kid stuff. . . the girl child is the most difficult. . . she would probably enjoy some outrageous toy. . . must not give into pink and fuzzy stereotypes for girl child. . . but she does love anything "princess". . . .me hates princess shopping. . . do they have princess roll around, get dirty, play outdoors toys? for a two year old?

in other news I can't believe I'm up this early and have already done an hour of work. . . and I'm still in my pajamas. . . from yesterday. . . b/c I never even changed. . . all day. . . and only left bed for hot chocolate and food. . . and to pee. . . must really look into the gym membership. . . and a more comfortable mattress. . . .
