As always, the first week of the month has money going in all directions. I still have around $150 in bills that will come in the next few weeks so I have approximately $400 to live on this month. Doable, eh? I sure hope so. December is a tricky month and I could easily spend all of that money on parties, gifts, decorations, dinners, etc. There’s always just one more person you could buy for.

    TELL ME ABOUT IT!

    I was walking today at lunch and realized that I should probably get something nice for the administrative people in our department that keep my life running smoothly. There are 4 of them. But then I thought – 4 MORE gifts…. sheesh…. then I decided that some cookies or a nice card would also work. But it is so easy to keep thinking of more and more people to buy for. Especially as the “Christmas spirit” starts working!

  • I think I’m going to stick to baking something for the floor. That way everyone gets something!

    Also, I love the snow all over the page. How did you do that?
