December 3rd Already!

I am floored how quickly Christmas is approaching! I haven't started shopping yet for anybody but me : ) Yea, I bought myself a new computer.... My old one was acting up and I decided I needed a new one. To be honest I am on the old one more that this new one, she has all of my favorites listed and the volume is louder on the old one which I like for my music I listen to. As for my family, I bought Kelly that camera Target had on sale reg. $229.00 for $99, I'm hoping she likes it. I just have NO ideas for my son & daughter-in-law, I asked them to make a list of items they want but they haven't given me any yet : ( I guess I will be out there shopping all the way up till Christmas Eve again like every other year.
I have been hitting the thrift stores around here, I am really LOVING doing that, I sooooo enjoy it! I go by myself and take as long as I like to look around - no one to rush me and I browse. I have found a ton of clothes that I love for cheap! Now that I have lost about 50 pounds I love shopping for clothes again : ) I actually found a Ralph Lauren dress for $4.50, It fits me like a glove (My husband says it's too sexy to wear without him). He says he is going to take me out to dinner so I can wear it - Promises, promises.
As for school, it's going along. Not the senior year I had hoped for Kelly but she understands that this is it after we are done in June she will have to go looking for a job. We have really been focusing in on what it means to be out in the "real" world. One of the things we are working on the US states (we finally got The States dvd I had ordered - Thanks Nicole for suggesting them), We also go over how much apartments/houses are roughly in each state, what the job market looks like ect. I just wish she had a thought to a trade she could go into to make a living, she is in for a rude awakening when she gets out there.... 
The weather is wonderful down here today, a slight breeze and warming up to I guess in the 70's! I'm sitting outside with my new computer and just soaking up the razes - I always feel better when I can get outside and get some sunshine. Taking the horses out for a ride as soon as Kelly gets up, that child will sleep her life away if I let her!
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
Until Next Time - God Bless!!

Reality is certainly no fun! Although Kyndal is back living with me, just the reality of paying her own personal property taxes right at Christmas time has her a little bummed. And I require Dawson to pay his own car insurance and it's due right at Christmas, too. I've tried to get him to save money a little at a time to be prepared. He saved some, but is going to be spending Christmas money to make up the difference instead of buying what he wants. Life is tough and isn't looking to get any easier!

I am glad you all are liking The States. We really enjoy them and I have actually learned tons!
