Consigning Time

My name is Julie and I am a Consignaholic.  I am also a VERY thrifty shopper and I have decided that I am beginning to have a bit of a problem.  You see - I am married to a wonderful man who dearly loves me and wishes to give me nice gifts on Christmas morning.  The problem is that he has asked me for... a LIST! 

Now, to most of you this would not be a problem but for me it is a problem.  I have been trying to write this list for two weeks and have only one item on it.  I am just not used to paying full retail for things so I have a hard time asking hubby to go spend $40 on a sweater for me when I know I could find one I like just as well and probably pay $10 for it.  I know I should just get over this and make the darn list but I continue to struggle. 

It would be SO much easier if he could just read my mind!  Then - I could get back to rearranging the playroom and putting away toys that are no longer played with for consignment season.  I think though another reason i am struggling with this list thing is because it rquires me to sit and think about what I want.  Seriously - how often do we as women just sit down and write down what we want?  It is not normal.  I rarely think about what I want.  I am too busy focusing on what everyone else wants or needs.  Perhaps, I should embrace this list making challenge. 

It will probably be good for me.
