Setting the record straight
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.
I ahte shopping for me but like shopping for other peole, but hate the crowded stores this time of year.
I agree with you totally. I absolutely hate shopping. Even when I was smaller in size. Go figure. My husband says he’s the luckiest husband on earth. LOL! Hope you had a great day!
I love shopping for Christmas but absolutely hate those crowds. Congratulations on winning the battle of the trees! LOL We have one of those every year at my house but since I’m allergic to pine, spruce and fir, my husband doesn’t get the real tree he wants.
