All About Me: Odds and Ends

I'm supposed to be writing my paper for my Mexican American Studies class. Seeing as it's 65% of my grade, I should be focused, but I'm not. While I am typing this, I am also uploading pictures from my camera and listening to Amy Winehouse and her music leads to deep thought for me, but not about gender stereotypes and race relations, which is what my paper is supposed to be about. I should probably change that.....

It's almost Holiday season. My shopping is normally almost done by now, but I haven't even started. I am having a hard time finding any of my friends that I truly want to buy presents for. How sad is it that I would find more joy buying presents for people that I've never met, namely blog friends, and friends that I've reconnected with on Facebook, than friends that I see every day or at least twice a month? Maybe I'm being perverse, but I just don't care too much anymore. I kinda decided I'm only buying practical presents for people that need them. I am not contributing to anyone else's gluttony...well, unless I find out that someone I wasn't intending to buy a present for buys me one. I've had that happen to me too many times and I refuse to be the one making someone else feel dumb for putting the time and effort into buying a present and then receiving that "Oh shit!" look that clearly conveys they didn't buy you anything.

I wanted to blog about my trip to Vegas with Paul. I keep trying to wait until I'm in a better mood but "permanently bitchy" seems to be a constant state of mind, so I will probably just write it and pray he doesn't read it because he gets his feelings hurt *entirely* too easily and some feeling hurting is going to occur if I write about that trip.

Sorry for the suck fest. I will try to be more cheerful in my next entry. As usual, there's something else going on and, as usual, I don't know how to constructively process it. I think that's a life skill your parents are supposed to teach you but, seeing as I don't think they know how to do it themselves, I might be outta gas....

State of the Union: Depressingly cheerless
Listening to: When Doves Cry by Prince

No worries with the "suck fest" That's what blogs are for. Write what you want, and get it out of your head!

I've given up on the buying gift stuff. Last year we only exchanged gifts with the inlaws and each other....of course the dogs all got a gift too. This Christmas isn't going to be much different. As hard as I try to get ahead financialy, it just isn't going to happen anytime soon. I told hubby, "This year no using credit cards! If we don't have money for it...we don't buy it!" Last year even after telling him we couldn't afford anything else on the credit cards....he still went out shopping!
I'm glad he thinks I am worth buying gifts for...but I am tired of always being in debt!

Our neighbors that have more money then they know what to do with it bought us gifts last year even after we told them it just wasn't in our budget to exchange gifts with everyone we knew. They agreed not to....then went ahead and bought us something! I felt like a heel, but reasoned with myself that I shouldn't fell bad. They knew we would not be getting them anything, so if they choose to ignore the 'no gift' thing...well that is thier problem.

Ooops! This almost turned into a post on its own..sorry!

Now get back to writing your paper!!!!! You are doing to well in school to be sidelined by a blog!

Bake some goods. :) My friends and I don't spend the money anymore because not all of us are in the same financial place. I love getting the different Baked Christmas goodies and I love giving them.
