It's 9 degrees right now, very, very cold all day. The roads were very icy this morning so even though we only got a couple inches of snow I didn't go in to the office today. They plowed and it melted a bit before lunch.

Sold two more half.com books for $2 and $3.50. Mailed them on my lunch hour, spent $3.26

Went to Taco Bell after and spent $6.47

Wrote a $50 check to the Boone Fire Department in memory of my grandpa. This comes out of my gift fund.

Total spent so far this month = $293.51

I got my first survey from Pinecone today. I'd forgotten I signed up for that.

I have 3 more xmas presents to get. One is for my youngest niece. I try to get all my gifts purchased before Dec because I hate shopping in Dec. But I need to take my niece shopping so she can point out things she wants. The funeral is this weekend and Thanksgiving is next weekend so don't think I'm going to make it before Dec. Not sure when I'll get to take her. The other two gifts are phone cards, grocery cards and gourment foods. They can be bought at the grocery store, so it's not like going into a retail store or heaven forbid a MALL! In my early twenties I was shopping in a mall in December and had to leave because I started hyper-ventilating. Can't stand crowds and haven't been to a mall in December since.

Tons of movies coming out between now and the end of the year that I'd like to see. I'll probably only get time for one though. I'll probably wait to see the Harry Potter movie after xmas when it won't be quite so crowded.
