Christmas Slump

I don't know what it is about this year but I can not think of presents for anyone! I have asked for ideas but either they are too expensive for us or they aren't something I really want to get the person. My number one present I don't like to give...

Gift Cards
I CANNOT stand to give gift cards. They don't take any thought really and then I don't even know what the person used it for. I like to see the expression on people's face when they open presents. When they open a gift card they just don't get the same feeling. When I get gift cards I sometimes don't spend them for a while or end up using them on someone else and not myself. I know that isn't what the intent is but it is what happens.

I can't even think of where to look online to get ideas. I watched Opera's Favorite Things, but of course they are way out of the price range. I would like to do some homemade presents but at this point it is a little late and if they don't turn out then I would have nothing.

I think Pat and I are going to try to go shopping on Sunday after church to start looking so hopefully we have some luck. We also need to get some stuff for Vegas, including luggage, which we leave for in 23 days! We got out tickets in the mail so now I am really excited to go! Only 13 of those days are school days and 3 of those are exam days. I can't believe we are already half way through the year. Then when we go back it is going to rush to March when my sophomores take their OGT tests and then softball season will fly by and then it will be the end of the year! It really has been going by fast. I am so thankful for that though because I am enjoying what I do so that makes it go by fast and not make my days drag on and on and on.....
