Christmas Inventory
I just finished an inventory of things that I have stashed away for this coming Christmas. I’ve got approximately 75% of what I need and so far I’ve spent less than $35. This explains why garage sales haven’t been as fun lately. I’ve gotten lots more picky about what I buy since I’ve already got good stuff stashed away. It gets a little discouraging to go to three different sales and find nothing useful. But that fourth sale with an inexpensive treasure makes up for the other three. I’ve yet to stash anything away for Howard though. Most of the things he would enjoy having aren’t things I’m likely to find at garage sales. (A new computer, frisbee golf discs, itunes gift cards, movie tickets.) The good news is that one of the things that I have stashed away is a gift certificate at amazon.com. As we get nearer to the holdiay, I’ll probably use that.
