I have reached a decision. From now on, all gifts from me will be either from the ASPCA or Humane Society or the Watkins Company. My life has just become incredibly easier, especially since the only person I need to buy for is my nephew. He will probably get an amazing amount from Toys'R'Us, but that's only until he gets past the cute kid stage. Then it will be the animal rescue sites for him. And the occasional additional pet because all growing boys need dogs, cats & fish. I know I need all the above, though until we move out the fish are a no-go.
And right now, I am miffed at my family. I was given an incredibly cool gift (for me at least). An Easy Bake Oven! And I hate to cook. In fact, I do not cook at all thanks to my sister having no job and taking care of that particular chore. Unfortunately, I can't use the utterly adorable, cute, wonderful Easy Bake Oven until after Christmas. It is just sitting there under the tree. Looking at me. Calling me. Enticing me to pull out that Oreo kit I have and bake. THIS SUCKS!
Bless you for Animal Charity gifts. As you know my beloved stray passed away last year (I still think about her. Miss you Scarlett!)
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice idea. I'm also glad that you don't feel obligated to buy for a lot of people on your budget.
Sorry about the easy bake oven. I never had one, you'll be playing with it soon.
Oh, and I had no idea (or I forgot) that you're working such little hours. That really sucks.
Steph, I know about job searching. I dread the day I start again. I totally feel you and you know I know where you're coming from with the rejection letters/emails and just no response at all.
I HATE job searching, but these little pennies that I'm getting at my current job won't sustain me for long. As of now, it's just a job and one I sorely needed since I have bills and a $7000 student loan that my mother has no clue about. She'd have a cow. I'm taking that secret to my grave.
I swear we will be okay, Steph, and you will get a job you'll love. I will too. 2007 should be a brighter year for us both.
Take Care and Happy Holidays Steph!
YOu don't need to go to an animal shelter, I have an animal you can take at any time.......

ReplyDeleteI am talking about going through the websites to order gifts from, not actual animals. All my friends have animals already.
