Home early today. Yay! I am going to get Carter from daycare later, I’m gonna enjoy a little me time for now (and sit here and blog uninterrupted). I never thought that I would like cherish “my time” as much as I do. It’s so nice and relaxing (if I can do just that - relax); I tend to spend most of my time feeling guilty that I am even having it, and that I’m not doing something that needs to be done. Maybe some day I’ll actually learn to appreciate the time that I get to myself rather then feeling those pangs of guilt.

Got some Chrstmas shopping done last night. Boy, does that ever feel great, liberating, and fun! I LOVE shopping, even if it’s not always for me; isn’t that generous of me? We finished nearly 50% of our shopping in 2.5 hours! Now it’s the hardest ones. The ones that are put off because it’s so hard to figure out what to buy these people.
I am the kind of shopper that likes to buy something that is useful and they they will like. Mike, on the other hand, will just buy shit for the sake of getting it done. No thought process in it at all. It’s rather frustrating; so he gets upset with me that I am contemplating too much about what to get and for who - while he wants to just buy this. So needless our shopping trips are very painful horrible hilarious interesting.
