Having been on vacation last week, I now have to wake up to an alarm tomorrow morning. Ten days of sleeping in. Well, 8 actually since the kiddos had school last Monday and Tuesday. Minor details, anyway good thing my boss lady gave me a $50 Starkbucks giftcard (!) so I can get me an extra shot in my latte. I’m going to miss sleeping in until 8a.
Christmas was good to me though. I got all the stuff I wanted – considering I bought almost all of it. I almost wrapped them too, until my sweet hubby said he would do it. He hid one of my gifts (that I didn’t know he got) in one of them. Sneaky guy. A new cell phone! Had a blast setting it up. I also got a couple of gift cards. Found some really good After-Christmas Day sales like 50% off Christmas items (gift wrap). The best deal I found were for a pair of boots that were originally $100 marked down 60%, additional $10 for ?, plus another $10 off a $25 or more purchase equals just over $21 after taxes! Woohoo!
The only downside to Christmas? Removing all the tags from clothes, then having to do laundry soon after having already done regular laundry.
I’d better get to sleep .

All the cards are completely done, signed, stuffed, stamped, and sealed. Just need to stop by the Post Office and drop them in the box.

Three days till Christmas and my cards are almost ready to be sent. Just need to stuff and stamp. Almost done with wrapping all the gifts. I’m so glad I took this week off… Whew!

Finishing up my cards, rockin’ out to Christmas music and a shot of Bailey’s to complete the trifecta. There’s a reason for the phrase “Happy Holidays” and “Season’s Greetings.” It’s for those of us that tend to procrastinate.

Finishing up my…

Every year since I started this blog, I make a New Year’s resolution that I will post every day (read: more often than I currently do). I think I will continue making that resolution for next year. Who knows? With the Temporary Salary Reduction next fiscal year, I may have more time to do so.
