We had a great time with our friends and family over the last few weeks. The holidays are interesting to me. You can't wait for them to get here, then they go by so quickly. And even though you look forward to them each year, you're happy they're over with.
I was talking about this with a client today. I mentioned how I just feel differently about Christmas as I get older and how the magic will probably (hopefully) come back if or when we have kids. He agreed. He thinks it's a circular thing. As a kid, you can't wait for Christmas, and as a young adult, you lose a little of it's magic. When you have kids, the magic comes back. But when they're grown up, you tend to lose it again. Then it starts all over when you're a grandparent!
At least I have something to look forward to! Kind of like Christmas...
Speaking of Christmas, I purchased myself a little after-Christmas present yesterday. An app for my iPod! Normally, I only download the free ones, but I couldn't help myself this time.
It's a Shopping List (Grocery List) by hensoft.
I spent about two hours last night playing with it and making my shopping lists and sorting coupons for this weekend. Oh yeah, I had fun. :)
Here's a sample from my Walgreen's list:
You can make a list for each store you have to visit. You can include the price per item, how many you need to buy, and sort them all into categories. You can even check off each item as you put it in your basket. It even totals your list for you and adds your local sales tax if you want.
This type-A girl is in heaven.
