Guilt!

I've wanted Barbra Streisand's new book ever since it came out. Then, thanks to Tanza, that came into the store a week or so ago and says, "Sue, you have to have it, you will love it". But I hesitated because it was so expensive as in $60! Then it happened. I went to Border's yesterday to get a gift card for someones Christmas present. And there was the book, it was just calling my name. I tried to ignore it, but I couldn't, so I bought it and was filled with guilt. But just look how cute Barbra's dog is above. When I told Katie what I had done, she was mad because she was going to buy it for me for Christmas and knew where to get it cheaper. Long story short, I wake up this morning, and I find a Border's coupon for 50% off ONE item of your choice. I went back to Border's this morning with my sad story and my coupon and they refunded me half the price of the book! I am so excited and now can feel a little less guilty for buying something for myself. Speaking of guilt, this is my Christmas tree that I've had for over a week now. Does it look a bit dark to you? I think I'm going for the "natural" look this year, no ornaments or lights. It does have a "natural" piece of twine tied on the top of the tree. That is where the price tag use to be. And the tree is sitting on a very natural looking black trash bag! I do believe however, that this Thursday night we will all gather and watch Bryce decorate the tree. He does an awesome job, seriously. This year Morgan will be joining Riley has they help give our tree a bit more sass!!
