Yay!

I like it when I spend 11 dollars to purchase a $67 Liz Claiborne purse which also happened to be exactly the style and color I was looking for.

Also, I like it when I save $705.17 on a laptop that I really shouldn’t have bought in the first place except for OH MY GOD WHAT A GREAT DEAL IT WAS.

By the way, I am no longer allowed to spend money on myself because I just bought a SUPER HUGE present all for me.

Hope my underwear lasts till next christmas!!

I’ve decided that I really do enjoy the holiday season. Not so much the commercialism, or the 2-month early hype, but that I find lots things to smile about during this time of year. I love the house decorations, I like the search for the perfect gift (yeah, the search is usually in my head, and maybe I don’t ever find it, so what??), I like the smell of christmas trees, I like wrapping presents, and yes, I even like christmas music. So sue me.

Plus, I love presents. I don’t care what people get me, as long as it’s wrapped. Buy me a stick of lip gloss, wrap it up and I’ll be totally happy. I can’t stand it when people just tell me what they’re going get me, or if they blurt out what it is while I’m unwrapping it, or worse yet — hand me an unwrapped present. I crave surprises. They’re one of the few things I can get really excited about. I also believe very strongly in stocking stuffers.

I have no problem delaying opening presents. It’s kind of like traveling (or not). I love the act of traveling, but the arrival is always a sort of let-down, no matter how exotic, exciting, or relaxing the place is that I’m visiting. With presents, I just love the mystery, the thought that there is something waiting for me. Opening them is secondary to the fact that they exist.

The only problem I have found this year is that while shopping for gifts, I keep finding and purchasing things for myself. Hmm. I will have to be a bit more careful with my heavily-laden credit cards. But I don’t buy things for myself, like, EVER so I don’t feel too guilty about it. Presents to myself. Now if only I could wrap them and have them be surprises, I’d be all set.

more things! they’re expensive, so don’t spend too much time reading. i just need to remember that i want to get these things at some point.

I have a new house! You can have one too, and come live on my street.

Go get your own.

You have to build yours before you can see mine, though.

Roomie moved all her furniture in today. She had 13 days with both apartments, so she was moving in little by little. Her bed will be delivered later today and then she will officially be living here!

That is all I can type write now because for one thing I strained my thumb (shut up! it’s messed up! you should see the brace i have to wear!) and for another I pulverized my middle finger (same hand as thumb disaster) and on top of that I banged my wrist (same hand) so hard that it hurts to move even though it’s been three days since the banging.
