Fly Lady said something about trying to remember not to buy the holidays, but feel the holidays. It worked. We cut our budget in half. Turned down several invites. Did not worry about sending Christmas cards (I'll send Valentine cards instead . . . maybe) and just spending some time actually eating the cookies we baked and singing carols and looking at our tree. <br /><br />BUT I missed the LUSH sale. WAAAAAAH! I think I may have to pay a visit.<br /><br />ps. I just started Nefertiti - by Michele something. so far so good.Ranihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574603384659982547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764368731790911638.post-87684907010900106412009-12-29T13:07:29.084-08:002009-12-29T13:07:29.084-08:00Great socks and hat.

I'm always overwhelmed at the store because there are so many smells, but once I get my goodies home, I'm always happy.<br /><br />It's all about creating your own peace. Taking time off, reading a good book or two, eating yummy food, and taking a bath with nice-smelling "additives" -- that's what it's all about. And doggies and kids and loved ones. This year has been hard on so many people. Sounds corny, but the only way we can find peace is from the inside out. I think you're doing it right.<br /><br />And I second/third/however-much Merrily.Battyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03892116045581715793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764368731790911638.post-65690818792700865132009-12-29T11:48:52.531-08:002009-12-29T11:48:52.531-08:00PS-I like your "Merrily, Merrily" idea f...PS-I like your "Merrily, Merrily" idea for the socks.
