How's that for planning. <BR/><BR/>Serious note: This year, Tim and I had about half the money to spend on the kids. We did not buy for each other, and we did not mail out Christmas cards. We focused on the kids. We shopped very carefully, and we planned every purchase, and I have to say, Mary, once it was all wrapped and under the tree, it doesn't look like we scrimped at all. Moreover, the gifts were so carefully chosen 'to be special' that I'm quite excited for the big day. I'm sure it will be the same for you.Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531125606268748793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34178755.post-71243403815134118852008-12-24T11:14:00.000-06:002008-12-24T11:14:00.000-06:00". . .

My personal best was, "I'm going out to the workshop for a while. Come get me when you're in a better mood." You can imagine what that bit of warped humor cost me...Dennis Bryanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00193366908396134655noreply@blogger.com
