so
ack_attack pointed me in the right direction for a proper holiday layout. behold! much more what i was really looking for. festive, but simple.
i got most of my xmas cards done today. i just need to put return addresses and stamps on most of them. waiting on a few addresses, but am happy to have them done more than 2 weeks before xmas hits.
my new bed arrived today. it was kind of stressful getting it into place but it's VERY comfortable. i look forward to passing out on it tonight.
my mom and i had a state of the union meeting regarding my evil credit card. i'm still feeling like i'm in way over my head and i need to find more money QUICKLY, but we were able to make a few improvements. i wonder if i'll ever be really good with money. i feel like i am ALWAYS living above my means. i joke around that my expensive tastes etc. are all just indicators that i am destined to be wealthy, but seriously. what is wrong with me that i can't seem to save money? i remember a time when i was doing well back in my very early 20's, but i fell off the horse and can't seem to get back on it. v. frustrating.
i didn't clean my car out either. most of my day was absorbed by the new bed. getting ready for the new bed, telling the delivery guys where to put the new bed, getting sheets and bedclothes on the new bed, moving furniture back into my room because of the new bed, and on and on and on. i did write out my xmas cards though, so i guess i can't really complain. now i'm going to have two smokes and watch a movie. i can't decide what yet. something comforting and familiar. perhaps Clue. or The Goonies. or maybe a Muppet Movie. bah. or maybe i'll watch Kill Bill Vol 2 and feel dark and murderous. hmm. i can't decide which is more appealing.
