Bah, Humbug!

I am really not in the Christmas spirit this year.  Usually I can psyche myself into it but I'm just not feeling it this year.  Last year's xmas was kind of screwed up with me being laid-off.  I at least had SOME money for presents.  I could only get them for my kids but, that's really all that matters.  This year I'm not even going to have enough for that. 

I thought about trying to "make" presents.  I was going to crochet some scarfs for Rikki, Tammy and Beth.  Unfortunately I just now got one thing of yarn and a hook.  Its a miracle that I talked the boyfriend into getting that.  (A whopping $4.50)  I started practicing last night.  My problem is I have no idea what I could make for the boys and my dad.  I guess I could make scarfs for them too-but my dad just isn't the "scarf type."  Who the hell knows what I'll end up doing...probably nothing knowing my luck.  Even if I became proficient enough to crank out six scarfs in the next 2 weeks; I'd have to somehow get the money out of the boyfriend.  It wouldn't be much but trying to get money out of him is a pain in the ass.
