Yesterday I did a little thrift-store shopping. I picked up a bunch of bargain books. I also went to the library and borrowed a few books, but also had to pay $20 in late fees. Boo. That's why libraries don't work too well for me. Saw a book for $1 called Living With the Passive-Aggressive Man and thought about how passive-aggressive it would be if I bought it and left it laying around the house for a certain husband to see. 
Been amusing ourselves lately by putting on dvd (also bought for $1 at Target) of a fireplace and pretending is real fire. M. actually said his brain sent him the sensation of heat. Yesterday reflected on fact that I have not set foot in a mall or the horrible "Miracle Mile" for Christmas shopping and felt very proud of myself. Back when I used to go out and shop for presents like a common animal usually wanted to kill myself and/or others. Is so much better to sit in front of fake fireplace and relax.

Oh sure, you would do that. I will just refuse to acknowledge that it is there. <-- joke

A few years ago I bought a Fireplace DVD for my apartment. Since everyone made so much fun of me, last year I gave it as a gag gift at a white elephant gift exchange. To my surprise it was the hottest gift that.
This year I've upgraded to Comcast's HD Yule Log On Demand.

The shopping mall is surely depressing and I didn't find a thing there this year, so you are not missing much. I prefer fun little independent shops and places off the beaten path. But with crrrrrafting abilities like yours, who needs to shop!
The mall is a crazy place, but I did score some deals this year in the ongoing after Thanksgiving sales. So much for Black Friday- it's a black month now. Sorry economists, it's not making me buy more.
