I don’t mean to sound arrogant, but I have already started my Christmas shopping. Okay, I only bought one thing so far, and it was something from Costco. You know if you want to get it, you can’t wait or it might be gone. It counts though. I might even make a Christmas list now of the people I need to shop for, just so I can cross one item off the list. HA! I have no idea why crossing items off a list feels so good, but it does. I will even make lists and add things I have already done, just so I can cross them off. It’s like I want to be sure I get credit for it. Even if they only person who sees the list is me. I have even added “Make a List” to a list, so I had just one more thing to cross off. One danger of making a Christmas list is I will feel the urge to do more Christmas shopping. I don’t think I am mentally prepared for that right now. I think I might give up the satisfaction of crossing an item off the list, so I don’t have to start shopping now. This is a bit much for a Monday.
