If you know me, you know I’m not a big shopper. I prefer to shop out of neccesity rather than hobby. I just get too tired and bored if you leave me in a mall for too long. Now that school is over I finally have some time to make it to the mall. I have gone twice in two weeks and that is alot for me. Yesterday was an attempt to find a new cute christmas outfit. We are having a christmas program at work where the children dress up, there are performances, fancy food and of course presents. Lots and lots of presents. I figured this was a good time to buy a new skirt. Well, it wasn’t so easy. After a day of shopping I came home with two new shirts which i’m not convinced i love enough to keep. I brought them home and have been putting together outfits in my head to see if I can come up with something good. If it was summer or spring I’d be set. I have plenty of dress clothes for those seasons. But now it is winter and sleeveless doesn’t work so well. Plus it is actually raining. I know its crazy, but its true. In fact, it might actually continue to rain for a couple days.  Why did I leave all my winter clothes at home? Oh sweaters where art thou?

Last friday at work we got to take the kids to the see the California Philharmonic christmas concert. My friend Michelle and I thought it was great and were bummed we had to leave early. The kids on the other hand were not quite as into it and half were alseep by the second song. I can’t blame them honestly, I’m not sure if i could sit through it at age 10. We did tell them to dress up and look nice for the evening so they were pretty cute. I’m excited to see them dressed up for the christmas party. Just four more days until I’ll be home for Christmas. I’m excited to be with family and friends. When its warm and sunny it doesn’t quite feel like the holidays to me. My mom told me the house is all decorated. yeah! And that she has put 5 extra blankets on my bed. It will be a little bit cooler at home, but we don’t use the heater in our house here so it really probably isn’t that much of a difference. Well back to finding/creating the perfect christmas outfit. tata
