In case any of you don’t know….I HATE SHOPPING!!!! I love Christmas and I love the appreciation I get from the recipients of my gifts, but I wish I could hire a shopper. Actually, that wouldn’t really help enough, because I hate having to pick things out. I just don’t like it.
Anyway, my oldest daughter and I ventured out on Saturday ( I tend to drag her with me a lot). It was POURING down raing and at one point, I looked like I had just gotten out of the shower. We ended up having a really good time, but we were out so long, that we ended up eating out for lunch and dinner. Not good. I’m afraid to step on the scale.
I did get my christmas tree today. Normally, my husband pulls out the fake tree that we got the first year we were married. It’s become a family joke, because it is covered in duct tape, and no matter how much he reinforces it, it still leans. Anyway, being that he was on a business trip and didn’t get back until this evening, we went and bought a real tree. Of course, I couldn’t find the gorgeous tree stand that we bought the one other year I convinced him to get a real tree, so he came home to the tree sitting outside, leaned up against the house, sitting in a pot of water. He took it all in stride, though, and is actually pleased. PHEW!!!! No Charlie Brown Christmas tree for us this year!
I will dreadfully do my weigh in tomorrow and report the results. I really need to get it together.
