wow! pretty tree Pix! Makes me want to haul out my decorations and get to work.
Hanging out wiht my sis yesterday , shopping with our various coupons (CjBanks and JcPenney's-- gotta love cheap and free clothes!)
Tried on a few things for sis who has getting a gift for our mom... about the same size, but not same body shape (mom is rounder in the middle).
I asked sis, "what the heck is going on for Christmas get together anyway?"
she looks at me all puzzled.. "she didn't tell you?"
"NO, in fact R (our nephew) was asking ME when it was"
She gasps..

dawns on her "Oh crap, I forgot to tell B (our brother)"
Told hubby, guess where we are going next weekend?
He replies: grumble grumble grumble
Me: oh, and sis is buying gifts for everyone.
hubby: "what?! darn it!"
Guess what we get to do this week... sigh....
see, hubby feels that it is silly to buy gifts for adults... usually don't get anything you want/ need/ fits/ suits lifestyle. Besides it's a big waste of money. Better to take the money to adopt a child from the giving tree or donate to Toys for Tots.
I tend to agree with him, only because I hate shopping for guy gifts. And at this point, it's hard to put together any good deals with little money out of pocket. Now I feel like, if we don't bring gifts we look like cheapskates.
okay so we are cheapskates, but THEY don't need to know
