I think we managed a good balance with having a couple of nice big social evenings and then a fair amount of down time just chilling out. Even so we still kind of make a big deal of Christmas but focus it down to a few weeks starting just barely before Christmas If at all possible. God how I despise people who are putting up the decorations and lights in November...way to suck the life out of special occasions by dragging them on for months.

You know, the one where I bought stuff...every day...all day...for 12 hours a day, you would think that I would be a Bargaining Ninja. But the fact of the matter is that I only use my super ninja powers when bargaining for others. When it comes to bargaining for myself I have issues. If the guy is a douche (ie tire buying guy) I'd sooner tell him to fuck off than talk to him. If the guy/girl is nice, I'm all "sure I'll give it to you for 100% off". If I was smart I would look at things as if I was bargaining for someone else who is in desperate need of keeping all of their money...then I could pull out my all black outfit and cape. Hubby is getting better and better at the whole bargaining thing so I normally let him go at it.

Or just interacting with strangers in general? I voice this speculation because I know I'd rather gnaw my own leg off than have to *bargain* about pretty much any sale or purchase. If I don't think the price is worth while I simply won't buy and if I offered an item for X price it's because I thought it was worth that and am not amenable to haggling. *She* on the other hand has that bargain gene in spades. To that end if bargaining happens I just do my best to run and hide.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1117714673868007108.post-21744470991007265952014-11-10T19:52:03.471-04:002014-11-10T19:52:03.471-04:00I'm going to have to see if I can muster the s...I'm going to have to see if I can muster the strength to take advantage of tomorrow's promised high of fourteen degrees.
