Yes,
..best to go shopping off hours or off days.
Even during the rest of the year, I try to do that.

I hope that the new computer works out well.
You just reminded me that I need to back up my computer soon/tomorrow.

Shopping - eekkkkk

I dread the crowds. I guess I will go out in the early mornings to get mine done during the week, and when my finances allow.

Normally, I love to shop. It's just so crazy this time of year.:confused:

Gift certificates are always a good idea too.

Nikko:hug:

Gift cards and gift certificates rock!
Todd knows how much I love them. I just tell him which stores I want them from each year and he goes and gets whatever denomination he can afford. Each year, I get him a gift certificate for 2 massages with his favorite massuse. When I can afford it I try and do it for his birthday, our anniversary and any other gift giving occasion. To him they are better than gold.

Dear Mari

Hi,
She had the baby via C-section. He's in the nicu.
My student wants to try to finish the semester but her teachers think she should take care of herself and the baby instead of rushing through and turning in crap work to them. They tell me that they will talk to her in Jan 08 and not before.

She called after I submitted the post. She is feeling tired and won't be back to school for awhile.
