What I'm Reading This Week #34
Hello you sassy beast! Ready for another flip flappin' fantastic weekend? Yes indeedy, Ally Sheedy. It's been a week of working ahead for me as I try to work on ideas for holiday posts. I know, no one is ready for Christmas but spit balling stuff is actually getting me excited for the season. I like to try to give myself the month of December off from writing new posts (except updating weekly happenings) so all I have to do is respond if needed. It lets me take a little mental break during the holidays to try to enjoy what I can then hop back into the new year hopefully rested and ready to roll. We did book our 30th anniversary trip, which is the same one we had to cancel this year and of course got travel insurance. It's just nice to have something to hopefully look forward to and it makes you go "where the heck did 4 1/2 years go?" because it seems like just yesterday we were celebrating our 25th. Do people even celebrate their 30t...
I wait until week before Thanksgiving. Begging for lists currently
ReplyDeleteI am not done either. I am usually at least done with all the purchasing by this point and I might wait a bit longer to wrap presents. I still can't believe it's November to be honest. Felt like yesterday was July.
ReplyDeleteYou mean Christmas is happening again? Already? I have a few small things I've picked up throughout the year. I need to pull out my "stash" soon and figure out what I have and then get ideas for what I still need.
ReplyDeleteMy family draws names and we won't do that until Thanksgiving. Bummer too cause it would be fun to shop for unique items during travels.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually pretty far along. The hubs and I aren't exchanging much because we did a lot this summer between the windows and door and the TV's, so I just have a few gift cards to get him and a few clothing items to add to the few I've gotten him. So not tons to wrap. I'm just about done with friends other than some gift cards and some random things. So overall I'd say I'm about 70% done. Wrapping will be done by the end of the month, and then it's just waiting for Santa to swing by with the reindeer to whisk the presents to their new homes. =o)
ReplyDeleteI have bought one present for my boyfriend's son and I have set my budget for each person on my list. Otherwise I don't have much except for some stocking stuffers for my mother. I'm a little further behind than normal, but not too bad. We don't normally exchange wish lists until later this month, so I don't feel too bad about it. I don't think too much about it until after Remembrance Day.
