O.K. I really want to know that I am not the only one that does this. I was in the farm store christmas shopping for my husband and there on the racks were brand new carhart polar bibs. I really wanted the pretty pink or red ones, but knew the cows would revolt, so I settled for the brown ones, but I am still thrilled, my last 2 pair were outgrown by my son and the zipper broke when we were doing fall round-up so have been using safety pins. So now I have a new pair in just my size. Merry Christmas to Me!!! Please tell me you buy a gift for yourself to, so I don't have to feel guilty.

Of course, if it wasn't for what I tell my husband to buy for me, I would never get what I want. I ordered 3 blouses for myself and told my husband when they arrived that they were part of my Christmas gifts. He just laughed.

I always do to. It is the only way to get what you need and what you like. I love that he thinks I am a size 6 but so a size 12.

I usually don't but this year I went ahead and bought some new clothes to wear up to my in-laws for Christmas. I needed the self-esteem boost more than anything... and it just felt good to know that I will look on top of things. Ya know? Sometimes a girl needs to splurge a bit =)

I got myself a couple of pounds of raw wool and a set of gorgeous carders. Plus I am bartering with a friend who is making me a kick spindle. Merry Christmas to me!!! =)

I used to do it, when mom was still living. She couldn't buy things anymore due to the dementia so I bought my own presents in her name, wrapped them and put them under the tree, and acted surprised lol.

Normally no since I'm on a tight budget. But this year, since I've found MJ Farmgirl, I'm buying myself a subscription! Yay!

WhewI am not alone !(deep sigh of releif) lol. I bought myself art supplies. I hugged the UPS guy,I've known his forever) and thanked him for my Christmas present . Told him he was so kind for thinking of me. He just laughed and said... sure just let me know and I will bring you a gift anytime. Too funny ! I was surprised when I opened it as well. I had forgotten what I had ordered ! lol ! I am old.. give me a break ! Lol !
Hugs...Kristy
