Bah Humbug!

I can't believe Christmas is almost here already.  One week.  ONE week.  We have done ZERO shopping.  I've been feeling very stressed out about trying to find the perfect gift for everyone.  That's NOT what Christmas is about.  So instead of busting our budget and stressing out about getting everyone the perfect gift (which is never good enough and will end up in the back of the closet anyway) I'm thinking we'll get a Mercy Corps Kit for each family, and then a few things (Legos, movies, Wii games) for our kids.  That's it. Call me the Grinch if you want, but I'm tired of the pressure to buy buy buy at Christmastime.  They're adults (and their kids will have plenty of junk from everyone else) if they don't like it, we can spend next Christmas in the Bahamas without them and be perfectly happy and stress free!  :)

In other news...My skin has cleared up quite a bit.  I'm not sure if it's just timing (aka hormones) or if it's the no dairy.  Time will tell, I suppose.  Still have the ugly dark circles under my eyes.  I still look like I haven't slept in years. *sigh* Not giving up yet though!
