I'm planning to drive home this weekend 10 hours from the Paign to P-town. I have been looking for flights since November, and they are so so reasonable. But it is the rental car that is hurting me. I have done this trip every year since 2000, and this is the first time I refuse to spend so much just to get home.
To rent a car for 2 weeks, used to be a decent $250. Now these crooks are talking about $450-500 for an economy car. Who's fitting in that?
I refuse!
So that means I am making the drive, which I so don't want to do. But it will save me a rio grand, easy. Especially important, since I have 9 nieces and nephews who are expecting Christmas gifts. And you know how many DS games a G can buy?
Christmas is next week, and I haven't really prepared for its arrival. I have stopped buying for the adults and just spend on the kiddies. If I am lucky I'll get a grand total of 2 gifts my own self. That is something from the BF and another from my mom.
Who better make sure her gift is off the chain. Because for my 28th birthday bash in August, she got me a card with a $2 quick pick.
I mean really, mother.
If I win the lottery you come off looking really great. But guess what--I didn't.
But really, I am excited to close out week 7 of boot camp and get home to be with my family. And all I want for Christmas besides a juicer and food processor is their happiness.
..lol, I'm so corny for Christmas.
