Now, they’ve got your number, Cathy! And, it is only 14 more days to New Year’s Eve (which can be one of the most romantic days of the year!). My niece got married on New Year’s Eve. Her hub has yet to forget their anniversary! Parties can be romantic, too! Maybe this will be the time Irving and Cathy will be engaged to being engaged! Oh, one can only hope (but I suppose that is probably in the far future!). Have a wonderful Wednesday all! ;)

Sigh… I’m all for treating yourself when you can, but a sequined purse for holding coupons? Let me guess, you need to spend money to save money or some baloney like that? Hello Cathy clan! Happy Wednesday!

For special occasions, I use my grandmother’s beaded silk bag. People are always asking if they can buy it and the answer has always been no.

I make it my life’s mission every year to get my shopping done well in advance of Christmas and to stay away from the crowded stores and malls anywhere near December 25th — either immediately before or after. No matter how “good” the sales may be, nothing in any store anywhere is more important or worth more than my sanity!!!!!
Hi, rgcviper!
Hello and Happy Wednesday, fellow “Cathy” fans. Good news for me! Hubby finally came through with a gift idea for Christmas so as soon as it arrives, I will officially have all my shopping done. He decided he wanted a new watch — something I didn’t think he’d ever want again since he always carries his phone with him. But his last one broke only a couple of months or so ago and he said he kind of misses wearing one everyday so he picked 4 or 5 off of the Kohl’s website that he really liked and then I chose one from there. What a relief! Now I can finally quit stressing out and enjoy what’s left of the 2014 holiday season. Hooray!!!!! [Doing the “happy dance” right now!!!]

Well, at least she’s doing her part to keep the economy strong. I’ll still give this one an [eye-roll], though.
HI, MOM. Congratulations on finding that perfect gift! Hope you do indeed get to sit back and enjoy the holidays now.
Greetings, “Cathy” Clan.

Yay Mom — so glad the stress is gone and hubby will now be happy too!! Double whammy!!
lightenup — thank you for the kind words yesterday — I haven’t found social work to be thankless because it does help so many people. Now I’m a therapist and my clients are usually very grateful. The money is another matter — but we won’t talk about that.
Re the sequined coupon holder — I do have a beaded purse that I bought at a flea market and which I usually use for fancy occasions — I got it for a song and I absolutely love it.
