Month of December , 2009

This is one of my Christmas gifts.
I don't think I will ever wear this sweater.
I will make sure to photograph myself is this, so I will email to her.

Even thought I will never wear this, I will take this sweater over gift card or cash. This is a beautiful reminder that somebody is thinking about me.

It's a beautiful time of the year.

Merry Christmas everyone.

I got my gift - from me to me.

It's a Gibson Les Paul Studio (Fireburst with gold hardware)

My next guitar will be a Fender.  But, it will be 10 years later. 

* 43rd Costco Shopping this year, 3rd time this month.

I really enjoyed today's Costco shopping.

I am really busy this month. I am going to skip Christmas season.

I didn't have anything on my shopping list, but I went to Costco to relax and look at Christmas stuff. I wanted some treat for Christmas (I'll be home alone). Oh how much I enjoy Costco shopping.

I bought: Red Bull, hot wings, lamb shank, some fancy cheese, wines (gift),and eggs.

Below basket was $103.xx and I spent $23.70 on gas. ($127 total)

* Of course, I wore my Santa hat to Costco. I am trying to make the most out of my busy schedule.

* 42st Costco Shopping this year, 2nd time this month.

I wore my Santa's hat to Costco.

I should become a spokesperson for Calvin Klein. I bought one more Calvin Klein shirt.  In 2 months, I bought 4 pairs of CK jeans, 3 CK shirts, and 2 belts.  I really need to save money.  But this shirt was only $12.97.  I have to be stupid not to buy it at that price.  I look adorable in it

I saved $7.00 with the coupons.

Cuisinart's coffee grinder claims that it will make my coffee taste better.  I don't see how a machine will grind coffee such way that it will improve my coffee taste. Anyway, I have to give it a try.  I drink coffee every day and I've been using my $7.00 grinder for last 7 years.

81st - 86th packages of the year.

Trying to catch up with online shopping stuff.

2 packages are not shown (personal stuff )

Yes, I smoke cigars - but I smoke rarely, about 2-3 cigars a year.

I will be wearing Santa's hat every day until Christmas, where-ever I go.  Wearing Santa hat really brightens up the spirit.  You should try it. It's amazing how people talk to me and smile at me.  It's a good feeling.

Last time when I went to Costco, I saw people with coupon book that I didn't have.

So, I went home and looked at a pile of paper on top of my desk... and I found the coupon book along with a jury summon.

I only see 2 items to buy at Costco (M&M, Facial Towelettes). But this gives me a plenty of reason to go back to Costco before Sunday (20th).

Sol Price (January 23, 1916 – December 14, 2009) was the founder of FedMart and Price Club (since merged into Costco). He is considered a pioneer of the "warehouse store" retail model. He was a 1934 graduate of San Diego State University, and in 1938 earned a law degree from the University of Southern California Law School. Price was admitted to the California Bar in November 1938.

Price Club was merged into Costco in 1993.

I couldn't find the cause of his death.

* 41st Costco Shopping this year, 1st time this month. 

I am tired and busy.  But I was bored, so I went to Costco.

I had nothing on my shopping list, but I thought I would find something.

Basically, everything I bought today is something I didn't "have to" buy.

I bought really fancy Christmas cards.  I don't know what I will do with 60 gift tags.

Crackers and Olives were totally for fun.  I am very likely to stay home alone for Christmas.  So, that was my excuse to buy some snacks.

Then I saw the box of Carr's crackers.  They had pictures of crackers with cheese and stuff on them.  They looked so cute, so I thought I do that also.

This is what I had for dinner.  I used some leftover ham from Thanksgiving as well. Onion was too strong, but it was good.

Ah~ single living...
