4 DAYS TIL CHRISTMAS!!!! :o) I love NOT being in the rush of having to buy presents but I have to say that ppl that are still in the rush are ASSHOLES. I still have to go to the store for general things that I need for the house and goin to Walmart SUCKS. I went at 9 pm last night HOPING that it would not be crowded that all the Christmas shoppers would be home so that I could get the household items that I needed. NO SUCH LUCK!!! And they get BITCHY that late!!! Ok ppl lets go over this, YOU HAVE 364 days to SHOP FOR CHRISTMAS!!!! Granted you do NOT need all those days, but Christmas is a CONSTANT, IT HAPPENS EVER F**KIN YR!!!! So get a list together and TRY and get some shopping done before you get to the asshole stage and get some of it done!!!
I have a method to my madness, I surf the net and get an idea of the stuff that I am going to get, then hubby and I go to Sams and Costco and get more ideas, make a list and go back and buy what we want. Its a really simple concept and gets us in and out of a store in NO time. Of course there are other things that we pick up on the way and improvise on things we cannot find but over all its a simple process and keeps us from being ASSHOLES while we shop!!!
I did buy something late, just the other day I was watching Home Shopping Network, yes, I am weird and saw a keyboard that I had to have!! It is absolutely awesome, the keys light up so that you can play the keyboard and it is also a karaoke machine. I think it will be an awesome way to teach the kids how to play the keyboard and the fact that it is a karaoke is a bonus. My kids love to karaoke so they will get a huge kick out of it. Spent quite a bit more than I wanted to this Christmas on the kiddos, $400 for just 2 of the presents, but I think we will have happy campers ;o)
My weekend was wonderful, Saturday was our all day scrapbookin crop. We had a GREAT time. 12 hours of scrapbooking, life does not get any better :o) I managed to get 14 pages done. We also had a gift exchange and that was awesome too. There were a lot of really awesome gifts. And of course food, food and more food :o) Leah, Darla, and I got together for breakfast at IHOP before scrapbooking. Deanna was supposed to meet us, but she is ALWAYS late and did not end up making it. Then on Sunday I scrapbooked some more and then we had dinner with my mom and dad and watched the Rams LOSE :o(
