Christmas Shopping

Got many of my Christmas gifts tonight.  I love the Liberty Tree mall because it's more of a discount mall than a real one.  Instead of Nordstrom, Macy's, and many of the other higher retail stores the mall is composed of discount stores such as Marshalls, Target, 5 and below, and many others.  All my anxiety about what to buy for the Yankee Swap was unfounded.  As Katie says, the best gift in a Yankee Swap is something you would like to have for yourself and that is exactly what I found.  I would love to keep this gift for myself and there's a small part of me that kind of hopes that no one else wants it.  There was one other at the store so even if someone else does get it then I can command Dave to go back and get the other one while I'm at work. 

I still need to figure something out for one of my coworkers at the day job and I have absolutely no idea what to get.  We'll see what happens.  I have until Wednesday so hopefully something will come of it.  I found something for our Secret Santa at my night job but that was easy.  I knew what I was going to go get her for a while now.  Also found some great stocking stuffers for my coworkers at the night job.  At 5 and Below I found these winter flavored lip balms for $4 for a pack of 7 so I got three and on Sunday I'll place them into their stockings.   In addition, I found a $5 gift for my boss.  She had mentioned wanting to get something to put her iPhone on to play her music so I got her something that does that.  I just hope that for $5, it works.  

Dave is out with his former roommates and it's been nice having the night to myself.  It's so obvious that I'm a newlywed because I already find myself missing him.  Being super tired I might just go to sleep before he comes home tonight which I can't think about too much because I'll start worrying and possibly panicking that something terrible will happen to him.  Thought stopping.  That's the technique for this kind of thing.
