InkJet or Laser Printer

Which is better for massive amounts of document printing?  I have an inkjet printer (which was really expensive at Christmas to print all those Christmas pictures) and my husband has several large .pdf files he wants printed but after Christmas...he can keep his ebook on a flash drive! It was expensive replacing all those inkjet cartridges!

I am wondering if laser printers would be more cost effective for ebook printing? I haven't used a laser printer in a long time - does anybody know how they compare for ink cost?

Yoga

I bought myself two pair of yoga pants for Christmas.  They're so relaxing.  Now I have to get off my duff and actually use them for what they are intended for - exercising. Maybe I better wait until I have some yoga socks to go with them. Ha ha.

 Exercise and healthy eating starts after the holidays are over. I briefly thought about starting the food changes before Christmas but why deny myself everything good and fattening and sugary during the holidays?

Exercise - AFTER the New Year.

Tired of Baths

Who could get tired of taking relaxing baths?  After having to do it for the last six months, the answer is me!  When you don't have a choice when the shower head breaks, wishing for a shower becomes a constant. My husband finally fixed it with his dad - replaced the pipe in the wall with a flexible metal hose and installed new bathtub fixtures in the bronze finish I wanted.  Boy is it nice to be able to shower again! The kids get their hair cleaner too which is great because oily hair is just eww to me.

Now if I could only get my kids to stop throwing towels on the floor for the dog to wet on.  *sigh*  Eventually, my bathroom will be a relaxing haven.  For now, it's overrun by dogs and kids.

Less Stress - Disengaging Stepmom

Another step to good health - disengaging from my adult stepchild.  I will not be disrespected repeatedly.  Do it once - shame on you.  Do it again, shame on me.

Less stress!

Don't Weld the Ex's Presents Together

Five days until Christmas.  Is everybody ready?  I just reminded myself that I haven't taken care of Christmas dinner yet - oops.  Better do that after I get done playing on the computer.

I was even nice to my husband's ex this year and bought her a present. Not that she deserves it after her behavior but we model appropriate behavior for all of the kids anyway. I thought about getting some welding equipment from smith equipment and welding all her gifts together into one big pile of expensive, specialty chocolate goo, but I didn't.  See, I'm being nice!

Hope everybody has a Blessed Yule and Merry Christmas!
