No guilt at all. But I do tend to get in the spirit when shopping. Especially during the holidays.
Nothing more festive than getting a nice gift from me to MEeeee !  lol

Still feeling my way through. I did set aside some for me to splurge with a little lady but haven't pulled the trigger. I think it is 1 part so many new choices since moving to NC, 1 part focusing on the family and spending time with them, and 1 part it's actually easier when I'm "working" to get away for a morning or afternoon than it is when I have time off.

This is my 1st Christmas in the hobby as well.  I bit the bullet and schedule time with a wonderful provider 2 weeks before Christmas.  No guilt.

Every year, on Christmas Eve, I sit and look at the lights on the tree  for a while, as I am sipping my hot toddy, and I think back over the "presents" that I have given myself since my first year in the "hobby")  I lift my glass up and toast the memories that come flooding into my consciousness of the ladies whose lives touched mine, some for a short time, others for couple of years, but all (98%---there is nothing in this world that is without blemish) ---will be there as long as I have memory;P~~~  Hope you continue to make memories of your own)
