Christmas is here again and I am being overwhelmed by my syndrome of "What a Guy!"
What that is, is when I buy people gifts I spend a fortune on them, even if I am a peasant and broke. I must do it because I really want to hear that, "What a Guy!" statment.
I am especially bad with my family, my extended family, who buy me almost nothing. Yet, I go out and try to find that stupid gift that gets the eyes going. And on occassion I will hear that statement again. "What a Guy!"
It's great until I get my credit card bill, which usually throws me into a deep depression and into debt that takes years to get out of.
Do you buy gifts this way? How do you buy your gifts for extended family, friends, strangers, and the homeless? Do you get manic while doing this? It is better than illegal drugs for a high?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I gave everynbody and their mother something that cost me a lot of money for 8 years until I realized these people were giving me nothing or an ornament a 2nd grader could make. Not that I have to have like back but why sshould I be in debt.
