I hate shopping...

Maybe it goes against all of my natural female instincts, but I really hate to shop - especially around this time of year. Why are people so rude and obnoxious when it comes to finding a parking space (speeding through the parking lot to get a space - nearly running people over - just to get 3 spaces closer than the one they were waiting for in the first place), waiting in line (more like cutting in line), being so darn rude (bumping into other people without an apology)????? What horrible examples some people set for for their kids.

No wonder I do more shopping on line whenever I can, than in person in stores. I wish people would have more grace, gratitude and patience this time of year.

So Thankful

The time has really flown by quickly this past week or so - I can't believe it's already December and prep time for Christmas is already under way. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with a houseful of family and guests, and had great fun watching the Cowboy's game & eating too much turkey & ham. I'm so thankful for having Jeff home this year and enjoying the Holiday with our whole family.

I'm halfway through making our Christmas cards - and hope to have them all in the mail by the 15th. We are planning on getting the decorations up in the house this weekend - it's our tradition to do it all in the first weekend of December - but I'm sure we will have to schedule it around the Cowboy's vs. Giants football game on Sunday.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
