Yule was never my favorite Sabbat.
Holy flour, sugar, butter, and eggs Batman! The Christmas cookies are finally farking done being made. Now I gotta pack 'em up and getting 'em shipped off overnight to where they need to go, which means big bucks, and possibly with the load the shipping industry's dealing with right now, they still might not arrive in time.
Speaking of which, only ONE of the gifts I ordered for the mate has arrived so far. I've been tracking everything else best I can. Crap. Some of 'em aren't even out of China yet. Oh well. They'll turn into birthday gifts.
What the heck happened to the price of gold? I've been wanting to get her some solid gold hoops and the prices like...tripled from the last time I looked. Oh well. The MegaMillions ticket I bought oh so generously hit two of the five numbers, which still means squat as far as winning anything goes. Got Powerball for tonight at least. And with housing costs so flipping high, I keep thinking of setting up some sort of affordable housing fund. But it's pie in the sky at best.
Also reminds me I keep trying to find a phone number of this one place, and it's being less than cooperative at showing up. Wasted no time in charging my account though! Did I get scammed? I don't think so, but the possibility does nag at me. Gonna keep trying.
Seems like we did a rather poor job at budgeting the Christmas fund this year. We did save up quite a bit, and I guess we both got excited and plowed right through it at a record pace. We did not go into debt as so many other ummerican families did, but still looks like we still need a meeting around the end of November after Thanksgiving and go "Okay, we got this much. How much can we spend on these guys, and each other? I'm still going to wind up using personal fund money for stocking stuffers. Oh well. At least I'm not pulling it out to use for a bill.
