Ding Dong the Witch is Dead

And number three is... The room mates from hell have moved out. I finally have the place to myself, except for c. of course. And in the grand tradition of being a dick, j.d gave us a weeks notice that they were leaving and decided they were only paying for half this months rent being they were only there for 2 weeks of the rental month. We have to come up with a heck of a lot of money on short notice but, whatever it takes to get them out. Good ridence! Now I get to actually move in my stuff, including my computer, hooray and decorate a little. First we have to steam clean all the carpets and scrub the house from top to bottom. The good thing is, it's just in time for the holidays so I can bust out all my craft stuff and the sewing machine to make all my Christmas presents. Free at last. Thank God almighty I'm free at last!

The Arrival

Well It finally happened, Quinn has arrived. He showed up on Thanksgiving day just as we were about to carve the holiday bird. This is surely a Thanksgiving we will never forget. We had to pack up the feast in tupperware and then set up our own little buffet in the waiting room of the hospital. It was interesting and memorable. Not only that but we also had our first snow of the season. It was out of this world waking up to this beautiful scene. Usually things happen in three's. I got a nephew, snow (which I love and can't get enough of) and there should be one more thing soon. Until then....
This Weeks This or That

1. Go out and buy gifts, or shop online/mail order? Shop online
2. Gift cards/certificates or pick out gifts? Pick out gifts. It's more personal
3. Pay cash or charge holiday gifts? Charge it Baby!
4. Are most of your gifts mailed or given in person? I prefer to give in person when I can.
5. Are you an early-bird or last-minute holiday shopper? I try to be an early bird but usually end up a last minute shopper
6. If you shop in stores...big chain stores or smaller specialty stores? Small specialty store, you find more unique gifts that way
7. Wrap gifts yourself or have them wrapped at the store or mall? Part of the fun is wrapping the gifts
8. Shopping on *Black Friday* (day after Thanksgiving)...did you or didn't you? Hell No!
9. Is your holiday gift list large or small? Way to long
10. Is it better to give or to receive? Much better to give. I love watching peoples faces when they get something they really want or didn't expect
