Let the shopping begin...

Well, I've decided to give up poker for the most part for the rest of the holiday season. Need to be sure we save enough money so we can buy Christmas gifts that everyone wants. Actually kinda proud of myself. Normally I would always find a way to convince myself that either I would win or not spend that much and we would still have enough. Then I'd starve myself without lunch each day until someone got paid next. Today I started Christmas shopping. There are some things I know will not be on sale any cheaper on Black Friday or even Christmas Eve, so I'm starting now, so I know I'm ahead of the game AND can still eat lunch . The company I work for sponsors the Single Parent Scholarship Fund, and we are given a list of items that the parent or their child(ren) want for Christmas. Today I started and bought my first one this year. I had a helluva time finding it, then Ann and I went to Target and she found it. Woohoo! Short week at work, as we are closed Thursday and Friday. Still have to work, but from home. Ah well. Happy Thanksgiving!
