This Christmas was totally awesome! Even though everyone was pretty strapped for cash, we were able to put a lot of thought into what we bought so that we could watch the budget but still get really great gifts! It was fabulous!
This year, I got:
*fabulous tie-up, fur-lined boots from Aeropostale
*Disney's UP DVD
*gorgeous brown button-up sweater
*a snowman tree topper
*a fuzzy scrapbook and animal themed scrapbooking supplies
*3 pairs of fuzzy socks
*The Grinch jammies
*Precious Moments musical snow globe with Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus
*Reindeer snow globe
*3 black shirts for work
*a black sweater for work
*a beautiful purple hoodie with a floral embroidery pattern
*makeup and nail polish
*Escada Moon Sparkle fragrance [very pretty scent!]
*The Dark Crystal DVD
*Warm Vanilla Sugar, Vanilla Noir, and Twilight Woods Bath & Body Works
*an M necklace with rhinestone stud earrings
*a cute [The Girls] picture frame
*a pink, brown, white and burgundy-ish scarf
*Walmart gift card
*Subway gift card
*Olive Garden/Red Lobster gift card
*chocolates/candy
*soft, fuzzy blue blanket
I think that's pretty much everything, so far. I still have gifts to give to some of my friends, and I would imagine that I have a few more gifts coming to me, but overall, I think that I must have been a very good girl this year because I got a ton of awesome stuff!
I hope that everyone had a safe and fantastic holiday week/weekend and that everyone that has to drive home to get back into the work routine has a safe trip!
Merry Christmas (even if it's a day late ;p)!!

Roommates
Mom and I moved 3 kittens into my room yesterday afternoon so that they could be litter box trained before heading to their new homes. By Friday, the first, Peaches, should be off to her home with my cousin and her kids. She's a really sweet cat and I know she's getting a good home. :)
In about 2 weeks, the second, Riley, will be going back to South Carolina with my friend, Amanda, and her husband. She's a really feisty little thing, but she's a good cat and I know that they will treat her well. Heck, she'll probably be the most spoiled. :)
The third kitten gets to hang around until mid-January. She'll get to go with Rosie to Brittany's new apartment in Cincinnati. Since Britt's not planning on having kids [ever], I know that the cats will have a good home and a good human mommy. :D
I have a feeling that I'll be pretty attached to the little buggers by the time they go, but at least I'll get to bring my Penny home from the farm once they've all vacated! I can't wait to have her here at last!!

Work
I've only worked on the sales floor twice since I started at Macy's, but I'm really enjoying it. I'm not actually working the registers or anything since I'm on the recovery team, so I'm able to move around and straighten things up. It keeps me busy and helps the time to pass quickly. The last time I worked, I was up in the plus sized womens' department and I really enjoyed being there. I feel like I have more of a connection with the items being sold there since that's where I would shop [if I had the money]. I hope that they put me there more often.
I have a decent amount of hours this week, so I'll have a nice check next Friday, which means that I'll be able to get some Christmas shopping done!! Even though funds are tight right now, I still plan on making this a good Christmas for my family and friends. The gifts won't be expensive or fancy, but I promise that I'm putting a lot of thought into them!
The prospect of Christmas shopping makes me so happy! Even though there isn't a lot of money for me to spend, I still enjoy getting out in the stores and looking around to see what they have to offer. It's a lot of fun for me!
