Rare Ordinary Thoughts

Who will not be tempted with sale signs big enough to capture one’s attention? Clearance and 75% off, anyone? Ahhh… commercialism and a whole lot if ‘em!

But I love the fact that shopping for better-than-usual-deals take place on post-holidays! Hence, it gives me much easy task to get what I want to be put in my box that I am about to send to my loved ones back home! I didn’t hit the stores and malls last Dec.26th but I did a day after that. I was at Von Maur and Gordmans and oh boy, the sales were really incredible! I can tell you that a huge balikbayan box has been filled up just in a single packing day because of what I got from all those sales. It’s my smart way of shopping because I get to save more than 50% off the regular price. At Wal-mart and Walgreens, 75-80% off on all their holiday merchandise are just awesome and I got to enjoy getting a whole lot of packs of chocolates, sweet treats for people back home who love to destroy their teeth! LOL I am more than broke right now, not to mention we also sent both swithart’s and mine’s families good amount of $$$ for new new year and it’s our way of celebrating with them.

Anyways, enough of those shopping sprees! LOL Though this I must say, we may be shopping here and there these days, but to tell you honestly, we are so controlled with our spending. We have to manage our budget wisely as moolahs have not been coming in quite easily. It’s just a good thing that we still have our needs and we are not wanting more. We buy for others and not for our own selves. Fair treat eh? Well, we’re just sharing.

Now I must say something about the weather! Last weekend’s almost 60 degrees fahrenheit has continued to give us a great time being outside! I’ve only been wearing cardigans when going out, so unbelievable! Friends at church even said winter seems to be over but nah… the forecast gives us another fair warning for more snows in the coming days so winter is still until March I think. Well, tomorrow, it’s going to be new year’s eve already and I am thinking of making some goodies for us to enjoy. Hmmm… I hope everyone is having a blast with the holidays! I do, with all the breaks I am taking! Hehe… As for my eyes, they still need more refraining because the longer I stare at my monitor, the more red they become. So I still am giving myself more time off.
