Shop Till You Drop

That was my motto tonight. I hit both Target and Wal-mart for prizes for our upcoming work bowling party. My feet are sore and my pocket book is empty. But at least I am all prepared for the party now. I just need to wrap the prizes now, but that can wait until tomorrow. The upside of all this shopping (that isn't even for me) was that Wally World had spamonie ice cream!!! That is nearly impossible to find, so of course I had to get some. So I am enjoying a bowl of it as I type this post :) (aren't ya jealous!!)

Well it finally feels like winter outside. It has been down right COLD! It is times like this that make me feel bad for Brad working outdoors all through the night. The poor boy layers up like the little brother in the movie A Christmas Story!

I am happy to announce that my Christmas shopping is officially done!! WAHOO!! I still have projects to get done before the big day, but no more shopping. I love to shop and even I am burnt out. I love that our kids are old enough now that we can invest in a handful of larger meaningful gifts rather then tons of toys and crap. But of course Brad would argue that I still buy plenty of the "crap". :) But what can I say, I love gift giving!!

EDDIE RABBIT!!! I'd have to ask my dad to be sure, but I think he was the first concert I ever went to. I was like five years old and I think it was at the state fair.

Target has spumoni as well...I don't buy it but I always notice it because our friend Aaron loves it. It is always easier to find this time of year.

I've seen Spamoni at Walmart too, right next to other hard to find flavors like Bubble Gum...check there!

Where on EARTH is WallyWorld?

Wal Mart baby! Yes I am jealous, my mouth is watering! Seriously this year I was thinking, Andrew doesn't need any more toys! But I guess he needs something to unwrap on Christmas so I will buy some toys.
