holiday shopping

see, the reason I'm thinking about it already (and no, i'm not necessarily a Type A) is so that I can have time in November and December to make things - you know, create some ornaments as gifts, do some baking, decorating, etc. And, at this moment, I'm still trying to unpack. I'm actually excited to shop now, so that I can be thoughtful and find interesting things on sale... if I were to wait until late Nov or early Dec, I believe the entire shopping experience would carry elements of stress and being hectic.

SO, great news. I just went to one of the stores from Friday, and returned approximately $75 worth of merchandise. I'm glad - some of it I needed to take home and think about... luckily I decided some items weren't exactly what I was looking for....

take care - enjoy your evening... my afternoon is getting VERY CHILLY! Needed a coat and hat and everything. Today's high was 47 degrees Fahrenheit (32 is freezing). I know, I know... we Americans need to switch over to the metric system, Centigrade too. As a matter of fact, they're doing that in schools now. I think we might officially switch over within the next two generations... that will give us enough time to change all of the cookbook recipes :)
