This past weekend we purchased and decorated our Christmas tree, and I didn't get too bitchy while I wrestled with the lights. I actually bought a couple of presents. I even started thinking about which cookies I will bake this year. I'm still struggling to get into the spirit of the season, but I'm working on it.
I have a long way to go, and a lot of presents to buy. My mom is being particularly unhelpful and not really giving me any suggestions. She had mentioned that she'd like home delivery of the Sunday New York Times, so I looked into that this morning. Do you know how much that costs? $6.40 per week! For ONE paper! Clearly, the New York Times has a very high opinion of itself. I don't care if it is the "all the news that's fit to print" it is not worth $6.40 per Sunday. So, yeah, back to square one on gift ideas for mom. I have no idea what my dad wants either. Or anyone else for that matter.
And only nine days left. I wonder how much I can order online tomorrow.
