Holiday Accomplishments

I need to feel progress so here's a list.

1. I have spent all but $100 in cash on xmas this year, and I'm done except for the travel and the CHOCOLATE.
2. I have stuck to my list for WB.
3. I allowed big ticket items onto the list because last year we had a lot of coating and no chunky chewy center.
4. We are expanding our generosity and it just feels normal.
5. I'm not stressing about anything gift-wise. Heh.
6. I can mail pkgs. from work. HUZZAH! NO POST OFFICE!
7. I have put away a couple of pretties for me to wrap so I can ooh and aah on xmas day.
8. I'm pretty much done with shopping, except for some online stuff.
9. I squelched an urge to run away to Australia.
10. I decided to splurge on tickets to a place with very very large potentially dangerous animals that perform for humans, sometimes injuring their trainers.
11. I am actually looking forward to seeing my family.
12. I already know I'll be dizzy from looking at the pretty spinny lights at Zilker Park on Christmas night around sundown. We will remember to have cash for cotton candy and light-up thingeys. We will have eaten a nice dinner already and will not be at Jack-in-the-Box with the cops and hospital shift workers on bloody Christmas night.
