I walked about 50 minutes today, had my vitamins and got groceries in the house. I went out for a while by myself tonight and scored some great after Christmas deals at Borders that will come in handy next Christmas and for Hailey's birthday. I swear that people just want to give me money today--the guy at the checkout gave me my year end discount even though it wasn't showing up ($3) and then asked me if I wanted an additional $2 off my order because I could take my personal shopping day for the month. Then, when I got home and looked at my receipt, he charged me 0.00 for one of the dollar books. So, all this means I got Pride and Prejudice on CD (unabridged--the audiobook for Hailey), and 4 Christmas books that would've normally added up to $105 all for $17.46. I was pretty happy. But, I digress....

My usual pattern when I go to Borders is to get a fancy drink AND a cookie while I read and browse. Tonight I successfully had just a regular coffee. Also, I avoided buying and eating candy at the grocery store while I shopped (the guy at the grocery store also gave me an extra $3 off even after I brought it to his attention. I should've gotten $1 off on some soup that cost me $3 and he gave me $4 off. It's like they payed me $1 to take the soup.) The only indulgence today was a Hammonds handmade candy cane for a few cents at Borders. They're the best and I only had 1/4 of it. I'll see if the kids want to share the rest with me tomorrow.

Today's reason to lose weight: I want to knit myself the great skirt in "Greetings from Knit Cafe" and it just won't look right yet : ).

See you all here tomorrow.
