Yikes!!! I have started holiday shoping, and my credit card is melting in my hand. Not good..........I thought I was shopping with the family, and so that's why I didn't notice that Cousin Bernadette (the name of my relation ship with my debt) was out with us right away. Towards the end of the trip I realized she was helping me spend, so I made a run for it out of the mall. (Well, couldn't lose her. She's sitting her in the livingroom eating my food and laughing at me loudly.) Oh, I had to buy gifts that there were there...I was trying to write down stuff to buy at a later time in a cheaper location, so hopefully when I have CASH, I will sneak out of the house and buy them without The Cuz. I didn't expect to spend so much, I had hoped that I could write stuff down and return, but it didn't work out that way.
Good thing I told SO we were eating at home which he likes (more than I do), so that wasn't a problem....we are both trying to keep holiday costs in control (ha, ha) so I told him we'll eat at home for most of the rest of the weekends of this month. He had no problem with that. He likes it when I cook for him.
This afternoon I was out with a new friend talking about looking for work, resumes, interviews and the like.....I am trying to help her write her resume....she's going to have a minimally gifted holiday as she can't make her credit card payments since she has been out of work so long and she has had to live off them for a few things this year....her resume was very poorly written, so she was not able to get any interviews...and She's been using this resume for the past year. I was so sad for her! I'm trying NOT to DO the whole thing for her, so I gave her advice and a reference book, and I'll see what she does.
I'm going to try to relax tonight...I also have a very busy several weeks coming up so I have to get prepared by performing some maintainance on several things in the house, clean out my purse and workbags.
Let's all have a good week! Littlesbigs
