well i finally started christmas shopping last friday and it happened...
i lost my shopping mojo.
it happened the moment i walked through the doors at target. it was gone and there was NOTHING i could do about it. never in my life have i had such trouble shopping for anything. i had an easier time buying presents the christmas that i was dead broke and literally had nothing to buy gifts with.
the only people i knew what to buy for were pollyannas who had given me gift ideas.
i have to shop again today and i am dreading it! never in my life have i dreaded shopping.
the fact that christmas is on a monday this year is messing with my head. it doesn't matter that it is always on the 25th of december, when it falls on or right after a sunday it's as if there is one less week to get anything done.
but i am dreading the cleaning even more. last week i did my annual spring cleaning. forget the fact that it's now winter. i always spring clean right before the holidays. of course i only got the 1st floor done. that means that the second floor is a disaster. the pobble will be here on the 22nd and her room is a storage bin. now she assured me that was fine... but unless i get moving she will be reenacting that first christmas when there was no room at the inn except that i don't have a stable out back for her to crash in.
ok, i'm done complaining. time to get in the shower and get to work!
God's peace y'all

Simplify, simplify, simplify! I create a calendar of my photos for most friends and relatives. I get my nephew an AMX gift card. Terry gets her nephew a video game. I get Terry the gold pendant she wants. Done! Simplify, simplify, simplify!
The gifts were great. There was room at the inn. And I love you.
