It's the Christmas season and I have the "Holiday Blahs." As much as I love Christmas, I am ambivalent about it this year. Perhaps it's because I'm feeling rather broke, saving money for Ireland. The idea of shopping fills me with dread, however. I don't look forward to buying things. I can't stand shopping for my husband. He buys everything for himself, so there's nothing left for me to buy. And everything I buy for the niece, she never uses or she loses, so I'm unmotivated to spend much money on her. Not to mention that she ran our cellphone bill up to $250.00. No, I'm not inclined to spend a lot of money on her this Christmas.
I am wearing a holiday sweatshirt today to try to get into the mood. I am also going to start going through my Christmas sock collection. Maybe that will help.
My three gratitudes for the day are
1. I am grateful for our fireplace. I love having a warm fire on these chilly nights.
2. I am grateful for my current housecleaning company. They are reliable even if they are expensive. (White liberal guilt aside....)
3. I am grateful to the person who fixed the printer at work today -- it broke down; it was so frustrating.

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
I see you are gaining an international following! Bueno! As far as Xmas shopping goes, I alwys lose patience in any temple of Capitalistic consumption after about 30 minutes and have been pondering making a glycerin soap bath basket for family again this year (I got hit with a $470 bill from Cingular/AT&T due to teen excess, so I feel ya there). I loathe the commercialism, but once I see kids caroling I get in the Christmas spirit pretty quick.
Did you hear about the feminist movement finally acquiring male leadership? nyuk nyuk
