Here, Cathy: shouldn’t it be the less gifts, the less malls? Do it like this: choose five of your favorite catalogs and chose you gifts from them! As for the others, just dump them in the recycle bin! I do this just about every year and have found my BP doesn’t increase when I do so! Try to stay off the online sites unless they are as secure as possible. If you chose something from one of the five catalogs, do go online and purchase only that one item! Follow suit with the other four gifts. Guarantees you peace of mind! Its Tuesday…have a safe one! ;)

I prefer shopping online more and more. The only time I use catalogs is to browse through them for entertainment. I only go to the mall if I am short on time and can’t wait for shipping or to try something on.Hello Cathy friends! So glad you had a good birthday yesterday, sis!! :-)Happy birthday Kittycatpawsare, if you still stop by!

I rarely ever go to the mall but when I do, there’s only one nearby, and that’s in the next town over so I don’t have Cathy’s problem in that regard. As for catalogs, I don’t get those either. The only brick-and-mortar stores I really shop at on a regular basis are Walmart and Target. If I can’t find what I’m searching for there (or at the mall) when it comes to gift-giving time, then I look to eBay and Amazon.com to help me out with whatever I need. It doesn’t have to be anywhere near as complicated as Cathy’s making it out to be (thank goodness!).
kittycatpawsare: Happy Birthday!!!!!

Over-thinking things just a bit, Cathy? When that happens to me, I often refer to the acronym of KISS:
K KeepI ItS SimpleS Stupid
Just sayin’ …
HI, MOM. Greetings, “Cathy” Clan.
