I was looking at something for myself, put it on my Amazon wishlist, then bought things for my boyfriend, then realized I had actually put the me gift in my cart and had it wrapped and sent to him.
Sooo, I inadvertently have bought myself something for Christmas, but shh. We’ll let him think it’s for him.
One of these (Cuisinart Keurig one-cup coffee maker) which I use for tea, a 3-day trip to Palm Springs, and one full day at the premium outlet mall there.

I’m thinking about a new stereo receiver. Not sure yet. I’ve been pretty good to myself this year already. Built myself a pretty nice Stratocaster this past summer and wrapped up quite a bit of cash in that.
A new girlfriend and a leather couch. The gal I was seeing thought I was getting too serious, suggested we take some time from each other and I reinstate my profile on a dating site. In the mean time, met someone else that is actually more compatible with me and we get along great. Old girlfriend emails me last week, would like to meet for a few drinks and maybe go back to her place. Sorry babe, took your advice and I have plans, hopefully for a long time.
Stopped in at a Macy’s furniture clearance center last week and found a nice leather couch marked down to $699 from it’s original $1899. It was a display model that has been cleaned and comes with the full manufacturer’s warranty. The salesman enters the item number in the register and it rings up at $449. I am told if I apply for a Macy’s card I can get another 15 percent off. Sure. Out the door price with tax and free delivery (the day after Christmas) is $420. I’m happy.
My parents have (and had when I was growing up!) a house with a back yard, and still used that tired excuse of having no room. You know, had they gotten rid of that swing set (pfft!), and all that other crap, I could have had a pony. I guess that goes to show my parents just didn’t love me.
