*I have shopped myself STUPID today online. This is what happens when I am stuck at work and don't want to work because it is almost CHRISTMAS! Luckily, I only bought things that I need/were already planning to buy soon. I bought a shit ton of stuff from VS for DIRT cheap, as well as this dress:
for WS's "law school prom" in Feb. I luuurve grey and hopefully I like it as much as in person as online! Is it just me or are all these bad economy coupons deadly?? At least I am doing my part...and getting it out of my system before my financial revolution of 2009!*Speaking of shopping, I went to the specialty dog store yesterday and bought The Cutest Dog In The World's Christmas presents from "Santa". He apparently has been a very good boy this year, as he is getting treats, dead animal parts to chew on, a new harness and an elephant made of rope. Spoiled, spoiled, spoiled. I also got doggy presents for my mom's dog and WS's dog. So fun.
*Some truce progress with the mother. I will be splitting my Christmas between her house and my house with WS. Sounds perfect to me, though we are getting together tomorrow night to "talk" and that will make me want to pull all of my hair out. My Aunt has Breast Cancer, and my mother does not handle that kind of stuff well. She is so dramatic and ridiculous. She accused me of not caring or recognizing this, and of slacking on my family responsibilities for "other things" in my life. I asked for an example...she couldn't think of one. I am going to have to try to keep my eyes from rolling into the back of my head and getting stuck there tomorrow night.
*Tonight WS and I are going to a local coffee house to fill up on hot apple cider and FINALLY make "the list". The list is going to be of things that we want to do together. We both are "get out and do stuff" people and we have talked about a million things that we want to go and do. All realistic stuff, though some more long-term than others. The one I am looking forward to the most? Snow tubing! I have never been but it sounds like SO much fun! I think we are doing that in Jan/Feb. I picture myself looking like the Michelin man. No snow-bunny aspirations here.
*So I did end up trying that Barefoot Champagne...and I can safely recommend it! I have NEVER been one for cheap champagne (no Andre in my glass) but this one was really good. I think I paid $7.50 for the bottle. This is really dangerous since I like to start drinking champagne in honor of New Year's around Dec 26th. WS was in our kitchen the other day, looked around and decided that Roomie and I drink so much we should really look in to recycling. Ouch.
*I ventured to Hell (aka WalMart the Sunday before Christmas) yesterday. Seriously...if you ever feel like you are just brimming over with the Holiday spirit, go there and see how you feel. I wanted to kill someone. One thing I will never understand is why people refuse to recognize basic right-of-way rules in places like that. People just running into people, cutting people off, it was insane. But damn if I didn't get a bunch of stuff for ridiculous prices.
K I think I am out :)
happy Monday before Christmas!

Can't wait to see that dress! The pic is gorgeous!
I am holding out for the sales & coupons post-Christmas before I shop. Though I walked past the Limited with TDH yesterday and everything is 40% off! He had to restrain me.
TDH & I made "the list." It's one of the best things we've done. If we have a night where we aren't sure what we are going to do, we look at the list! Have fun doing that =) And Hooray for a semi-truce with your mom.
(And sorry again for writing a book on your comment wall here.)
