I have spent almost $200 today and though it’s for a good cause, I can’t help but feel queasy. I’m not used to spending money so freely, especially when I’m rather poor. I am glad I get to spend it on Christmas gifts.
I have almost everyone done. I’m still trying to get Brendan’s gift, and Katie’s. I want to get something for Brooke and Roci and Roberta, and I need to buy some cards because I’d like to actually send some this year to Joe and Nik and Curtis and Marjorie and whomever else wants them. (hint: drop me a line if you’d like a card). Stephen’s birthday present and christmas gift is bought, but neither one of my brothers has asked me what I want for my birthday or christmas which has me rather perplexed and feeling like I’m going to get screwed, again. I put all this time and effort into thinking what they might love, and they never take the time for me. Really, it’s one of the minor drawbacks of being a December baby. Gah.
