- Today was my last day of work! (YEAH!!!!). For this job I worked a total of 14 days and earned about $650 which is a nice chunk of change for part time work. Overall it was a fun experience. It was super busy, the customers were really nice (I think they are nice and happy because everything they are buying costs $1!), and it got me up and off the couch and gave me a bit of exercise. I will definitely do this again next Christmas!
- I am trying to think of 26 random acts of kindness I can do. This is an amazing idea and I want to be a part of it especially during the holiday season.
- My house is sparkly clean. I came home from work today and cleaned like a maniac because I had put off everything but vacuuming and laundry for the past couple of weeks.
- I need to get hubby a gift pronto! Pronto would be tomorrow. I still don't know what to get him :I
- Hubby paid for my cell phone this month because he didn't want to be out of touch with me for a week so I think I will put off getting my new cell phone for a couple of weeks so I can use up the minutes on my current plan.

- The High Price of Clutter (So true)
- Downsizing Your Home May Provide Little Relief (Something to think about)

And 10 Things I Need to Do By the End of the Year:
- Our $20 a month intro price for cable internet runs out January 2nd so I need to call and see if I can get the price extended (no way am I paying $50+ a month for internet!).
- Buy stamps (the price is going up in January).
- Buy all new underwear and bras (mine are hideous and I have had them for the past two+ years and I am getting rid of all of them and buying all new to start the year...right after I burn all of the old ones...).
- Sign up for yoga class (I want to try the $40 special for a month of yoga at a local yoga studio and January sounds like a good time to do it. p.s. it is bikram yoga which I didn't know much about until I Googled it and it seems the 90 minute sessions of yoga are conducted in 100 degree heat!!).
- Finish up a project for a friend so I can get paid in January (after I enjoy the paycheck from my seasonal job this month I am going to need money next month so I need to get busy and get this project finished).
- Decide what to do for New Years Eve (and no, we won't be in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip this year...WAY too many people!).
- See some of the Christmas sights in Las Vegas (I've been so busy working we haven't done much so I want to see the Christmas cacti at Ethel M, the Bellagio Conservatory dressed up for Christmas, and the ice skating on the Strip).
- Baking. At least make a pumpkin pie. I love pumpkin pie but only make them at Thanksgiving and Christmas and even though we aren't cooking this year, I don't want to miss out on this treat.
- Get haircuts. Both the hubby and I are getting shaggy and for once I want to treat the hubby to a haircut instead of him always paying for us, plus we might as well start the new year with nice, tidy hair.
- Go to the movies. I also want to take hubby to the movies which we can do either this Monday or next Monday (on Mondays movies are $5 per person at the Palms).
Merry Christmas to you and your family,
