I got my Christmas bonus from the "company" yesterday. I got $83.00 after taxes of course. I was sorta neutral about the whole thing. I mean it is not a ton of money so to speak but then anything "free" is very nice. So yes I was neutral a bit on the bonus. I cashed it and promptly have spent it. I went out to lunch today with a gal pal.We went to a new place and it was very very nice and charming. I had a wrap sandwich and it came in a spinach wrap. It looked like a Christmas sandwich!
It was wonderful. I have half left for dinner. We gave each other little gifts which I took my home to tuck under the tree! Just so sweet. I hit the grocery cause it is SNOWING A TON! So everyone went to stock up....it was crowded!!! One of the clerk's there who I am friendly with said it was insane!! I think judging from the empty shelves alot of parties are happening tonight. They had no diet SPRITE.....and no cranberry juice. I smell punch!

Today I mowed. I did not want to but my neighbor borrowed some gas from me so I decided if he was mowing I would too. So I bundled up and mowed. Half way thru the mower dies. I could not push it for some reason. I was so bummed out since I had about 1/3 of the yard to go!!! I literally wanted to cry for some reason. I felt so helpless to fix the situation. Well low and behold I noticed a yard service down the street working. I got brave and walked all the way down and begged the crew chief to run his huge mower over my grass. He said no at first since they were already swamped...then he said OK. So I got mowed but it cost me $30.00----so my bonus went for sucking up leaves. Fun. I am glad in a sense. Since I am single I think alot of my neighbors are waiting for my yard to go to pot and my house so they can gossip about me. Maybe I am paranoid......but I like to keep the yard in nice shape. NOW the snow is flying and I accomplished the leaf job. I feel so proud of myself for some dumb reason.

I am enjoying the weekend. I am getting alot done. I would of slept in this morning but a stupid telemarketer woke me up. That really got me upset. UGH! It is nice to have things crossed off my list. I hope you get lots done too! Have a good weekend!
