Everyone else in the world, it seems, is off shopping for serious bargains. At one time I would have gotten excited about the general atmosphere of shopping zeal, but I slept in until 8AM, and that satisfies me more than any discount ever did. Used to be that sleeping until noon was sleeping in. Ha.
I don’t know about you, but my holiday shopping is almost done. It’s not that I have more time on my hands than you. It’s because this year I devised a strategy, and challenged myself to stick to a budget. With so much time left until Christmas I have a feeling I’ll be tempted to pick up this and that if I see tempting items, but I plan to resist. It makes me feel good to know that I’ve found something that my loved one will enjoy but I haven’t spent too much money or contributed to their clutter load.
Even though this is a holiday weekend, my intrepid husband is off working on a side project. He took Kyle with him, so it’s quiet in the house now that Brady is down for his morning nap. I’m going to take a shower. This is just like a Wednesday, and I’m fine with that.
Oh my god, I can’t believe you are practically done with holiday shopping! We have just STARTED and I am already feeling that panic…that oh my god I have to buy hundreds of good gifts before a certain date panic. AAACK!
