LOL about the dolls and the shopping... we're all done too, we think. ecurbh and I usually forego gifts to each other, thinking it more efficient to consider ourselves one budgetary unit who needs to have as much available as possible to buy gifts for others :~D
This year though, ecurbh will be getting a new hackamore as his present, only we aren't buying it this pay period, we have till spring to buy it when there is less demand for cash on hand :~D
And I still haven't gone out to the barn yet... Still getting myself psyched up. Most of the most offensive clutter is garbage... old electrical tape we took down, empty feed and bedding sacks, and tangles of baling twine. A few garbage bags and five minutes... and I'd be well on my way... I'm bein' lazy and it just feels cold and chilly when I go stand and look at it.
Yeah, I could do without buying gifts for each other too, but MrFrog would pout. He's funny! We both buy everything we want anyways so it's really kinda silly.
About the barn cleaning, I'd rather it be cold when I have to do stuff like that than hot. At least you can put on enough layers to stay comfortable as you heat up, plus it kinda keeps the dirt off of ya. I HATE being nasty AND hot.
