Reply #9: Real Simple, My Fave Too!

[K8-EEE]

I let my subscription lapse to that one and took to reading it in the store, LOL, or at the library. Although sometimes they don't have the current one there. But a two year old Holiday "Real Simple" is totally relevant....if I really wanted a recipe or something I could Xerox it there.

My husband kept his "Sports Illustrated" cuz you can't read old sports mags! Disgusted with all media, we haven't been getting a paper delivered for about 2 years.

I'm embarassed to post this one -- I kept my shopping, shipping and party budget to $1,000 which was my budget, and if that sounds like a lot I did about $2,600 last year. And all Blue retailers -- didn't shop Target or Pier One and let them know why.

Oh another victory!! I approached a few good friends and asked if they would mind if we didn't exchange gifts. They were ALL supportive of this! Instead they are coming over for a pot-luck holiday brunch, very casual, just girls.
