Limit gifts to $20 each
So far, so good 6 months ago

I’ve had a few occasions come up that warranted a gift of sort. For both my boss and co-worker, I got each a very pretty flower plant. They loved them.

In May, I was given a few challenges: graduations, new arrival, birthdays, and baby shower. I’ve pretty much concluded that most adults will receive birthday cards for their birthday. I am also no longer sending cards for certain holidays. That really adds up. Besides, it’s not like the peeps would miss it.

Okay, as for May, I have been successful thus far. My nephew, Liam, who turned 5, got five bucks in the mail. For my cousin’s graduation, along with my nephew, Thomas’s arrival, I bought $20 gift cards to Target. Heck, I figured that it’s just easier that way. Plus, Target rules. For the baby shower, I looked at my cousin’s registry and they wanted diapers, so voila! Diapers it is!

I really only a few birthdays next month, and all are adults, so cards will be sent.

As for a wedding gift….hmmm…what can I do?

This one is going to be tough 6 months ago

This one is going to be tough, especially because, once again, I am job hunting. It’s sick, vicious cycle. I need a job to make money. I need money to pay off debts. You get the idea.

I am still keeping my head up and know that eventually, this one will happen. It’s just going to take a heck of a lot longer than I anticipated.

Gave Up 7 months ago

It’s been way too hot and we’ve been too busy. Although, I still plan to work on the boxes, just not in the time I originally allocated for myself.
