Christmas Shopping? ALMOST done!!
I am really broke this year... especially since something unexpected came up and ruined my year... I am really really broke. BUT... I can't NOT get my nieces and nephews gifts... you know what I mean? I got some GREAT deals and quite frankly, I am content with the gifts and the kids better like them or else I am returning them for cash on December 26th and they are getting diddly squat! Hmph! Honestly though, I am confident that they'll like their gifts. (As I said... they better!)
Yesterday, while walking through the mall, I saw an older face that I barely recognized. I walked past him and he said, "Thyda!"... even my sister noticed the man calling my name. It turned out to be one of the parent volunteers from the elementary school I attended nearly 20 years ago! I was so shocked that he still remembered me and recognized me. Great feeling to know that I am remembered after so many years and such little interaction. :) Hi Tom! :) What can I say? I'm hard to forget! ;)
I was in the holiday spirit.. until I looked over my finances. I really really need to make some big ass changes in order to get what I want and be where I really want to be. *sigh*
I haven't slept... I've been awake for over 30 hours now. Am I crazy, or am I crazy?
These past few days have been great bonding days with the sisters. My sister asked me, "Thyda, when you move to Cali, who is going to be doing these things with me?" (shopping, eating, driving, talking, laughing, etc.) I admit... I'm going to miss my siblings a lot. Yes, two sisters in Long Beach... but three sisters and two brothers here in Washington. I don't know how I am going to do it!
Not sure what to get Sam yet. Dude... he'll get a whole lot more from me after Christmas! ;)
