Holiday Mom - Sounds like a wise decision. January will come and you won't have time for a post Christmas slump. .
Now that is a little gem to hold onto! That post-Christmas slump is real and its nice to have a project to get excited about and work on.
Holiday_Mom - PT is SUCH a pain! I have it scheduled too. And DH has to as well. This time I'm choosing a place a little closer to home but I'm going to get the do-at-home drill and try to bump most of the apps til January if I can.
I spent the weekend nailing down the exact list and literally cross-checking the Black Friday ads with the Mall Map and store hours. I think it was last year or year before that we showed up and some stores were open and some stores were not so my plan of attack was messed up. And Macys was a ZOO filled with savages. Incredible how vicious suburban housewives can be at a big shoe sale!
And that is at a small mall that is out of the way so thus not as crowded as some areas. My focus this year is to stick to the LIST -- now wandering. I'm going to do non-buying wandering tomorrow though so I get it out of my system. The deals are already on and I'll do those in a more leisurely way rather than fight the savages for 10% more off.
DH and I got another load out the door this week from our clutter pile. But also another load in from grandpa's house. Got the armoire into the office -- so happy we found some place to put it. It looks good and a few trouble spots are coming together. But I'll tell you, the disarray was really freaking me out earlier in the week. I was practically having anxiety attacks!
