I cannot believe you are going to Target.. and Jenn to walmart... CRAZY!

I wanted to send her this time but daddy's not ready!!!

:giggle: it's hard for daddy's to let go of their little girls!

DH just went to shop with a handful of Harbor Freight coupons. I COULD NOT believe he would go out today.

I got some weird message from Pottery Barn that I had ordered things and not paid for them--called customer service and hundreds of those messages went out in error today! oops!

I just got back from Target...GREAT PARKING SPOT, NO LINE AT CHECKOUT AND NO LINE IN RETURNS!!!! it was weird
I got some great ornaments for 1/2 off
and some new ornament holders

good for you Sara! I'll be out shopping tomorrow!

I'm home...and it looks like I'm gonna be stuck in the house for at least today and tomorrow.

The weather does not look pretty.

Our "cousins' christmas" was supposed to be today...but we're not gonna drive up in the blizzard.

So Jeff's at the grocery store getting bread and milk and my medicine, and then we'll be inside for a few days.

ya, its pretty bad out there huh K?
the postponed the Vikes/Eagles game until Tuesday

Hello! I just spent the whole morning reading "The Help' on my new Nook. Now I need to see what scrappy things I would like to work on. Lily is gone skiing for 3 days with friends, Scott is watcing the Patriots, and Kass is watching a movie. We are definitely hunkered down for the blizzard they say we are getting tonight..

Stay safe. We are getting that weather here starting in a few hours.

Just hanging out at home again today. I got up while my boys were having lunch :giggle: I'm finally starting to feel caught up on sleep, though!

Tomorrow we're going out because Mason has his 10 year check-up, so I'll likely take the boys to a store or two to spend Christmas money and gift cards. I'm not looking forward to that, but it'll likely be better than today!

Howdy!
Just realized I posted my recipe-book-making afternoon in the wrong thread...
watching the temps drop. Not sure if we can make it to NC in the snow or now, waiting to hear.
How's everyone doing?

Be careful in that snow! Stay warm and cuddled in!

Glad you got caught up on sleep! I slept until 9 and could have slept longer if I didn't have to go out and meet my friend!! Tomorrow will def be better!

Alecia- be careful out there... let us know! My Dad lives in Wrightsville Beach, NC I need to check and see how his weather is!

UHGH! Just posted a whole thing.. and m,y internet had gone dead! LOL IUGH!

Sitting home after my run all showered and warm!

Went to get coffee with my running partner. then I took her to whole foods for the first time.. we both drooled alot! LOL I love their meat and fish sections!!

Now I am just going to settle in with a movie and I think I will try to get some of my end of year paper work going.. since i have the time... I might as well!

7 inches of snow on the ground, my cousin runs the weather station webcam there... or so he tells me...

WOW! That is crazy!!!

I know, they are not used to snow, don't have but one or two snowplows per town, go completely crazy in NC...
My folks are worried about the power going out in coastal NC. Evidently lines are down in the piedmont near Chapel Hill.
My kids can't wait to see the snow!

We went out as a family shopping today. I have gift cards to shop with, yet I didn't buy a single thing! I was looking for clothes, and well, I am still in limbo with sizes and felt like a frumpy mom in everything I tried on, so instead of ruining my day, I just decided to stop shopping!

Now Lou and Julia are watching football and I am having internet time. His mom just called and wants us to come over for a little while, but I am really hoping he decides not to go! We have spent the last two days with her. I could handle not having a third! I was hoping Julia would take a nap and require me to stay home, but she is not in on my plan apparently because she decided that she is no longer tired and is now really happy and playing while she watched football.

Good for you for not letting it ruin your day.... hope you can find a way to stay snuggled in and warm.. send Lou and Julia and you stay and get some mommy alone time!

Thanks La! I have been slowly losing the wieght I put on from pregnancy, but it's hard to find clothes for my new body shape.

Well, I tried to get out of going to his moms, but she made Chicken and rice stuff for dinner that I like and specifically told Lou to tell me, so I have to go now. I'll be back later!

OH I do NOT like that at all... that sucks... Hmmm I will try again but I don't want to have to mess with it... that is the whole opposite of why we bought the thing in the first place... LOL

LOL Kim! Enjoy!

It takes time to loose that baby weight!! You can do it! keep going!!

Tom and I went out shopping with the kids and we, who did not have gift cards to spend, spent more than they did! Then we ditched them and went for a late lunch/early dinner at golden corral. Now I think it's time to comfy on the couch and read while Tom watches football.

That sounds like a lovely day CIndy! I am all comfy on the chair... still haven;t pulled out those reciepts to do somjething with... <sigh> Been just watching this movie... will do it tonight though...
