well, I went after all. And while the mall was busy, it was late enough that I was able to find parking easily. But here is the scoop here—the sales were not impressive. I was looking a winter coats and they were 50% off which sounds good, except that they are almost always discounted a lot, even in September. So I came home with some blank journals from the Waldens that is going out of business (sigh) and little else. But it was nice to get out of the house and “play” a little.

I wouldn’t risk the stampede at the malls just now. I prefer to wait until the second or third week of January. Then again, I’m not needing anything more then a couple new pairs of jeans and maybe a maxi dress.

No! We really didn’t get each other much this year. The grandchildren all got books. We have been helping our children all year and that counts as their gifts, plus we have rented a condo in Pigeon Forge, TN for this week and everyone will get a few nights on their own to use it.
I’m not much of a shopper except in book stores. I spent the day getting the books for a club I belong to ready to hand over to the new treasurer. Am almost done, thank heaven.

Hope Everyone had a Wonderful Christmas!

I went out around 5 today after I did most of my cleaning. I mainly wanted to go to this store in the mall called Brenda’s Crafts, they have wonderful holiday stuff, snowmen etc. I bought 3 things for 50% off. Then I went to Hallmarks and got some cards/wrapping paper for 50% off. Also at the calendar store got my friend Chris the daily hunk calendar for 50% off. Not bad for an hours work. LOL

Jody-don’t say that! We’re getting dumped on right now. Its crazy!

Sabrina-what’d you find? Pictures!!

We went out. Traffic was horrible but the stores weren’t too bad. My new bathroom is ready to be decked out in a burnt gold and brushed bronze. Soooo pretty! Can y’all believe Target wants $20 for a bathroom trashcan? Insane!

Now I’m off to bedazzle my bedroom in lush burgandy. Hopefully I’ll find some dark green drapes for the living room.

We’re buried under over 13 inches of snow so I’m barely getting out the front door, so definitely no shopping for me.

I didn’t go anywhere today! In fact, I am a lazy dog today!! I am trying to recover from the days leading up to the Holiday, shopping, cooking, decorating, wrapping, choir rehearsals, etc, followed by Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. We didn’t get to bed on Christmas Eve until around 3am.

I was so tired yesterday that I kept dozing off in the middle of conversations, and even a 2 hour nap didn’t cure it. I slept 11 hours straight last night (and this morning). So you see, shopping was the LAST thing on my mind!!

I’ll probably hit the stores tomorrow . . . that it, if I feel like it!

Well, I went. But I must have been delusional. We went to Target first, and that was a breeze, lulling me into believing the mall wouldn’t be bad. It took me 20 mins. to find a parking space at the mall, and 20 mins. to get out after I shopped. We ate lunch there and had a really hard time finding a table in the food court. Arghh!! I got some good deals on ornaments for my “fashion tree” (which is why I went), but I’m not sure it was worth it. It was a madhouse!

Thanks for the chuckle Fresh!

Yes, I’ll be going out for a short while unless, like Madeline might, I encounter bad traffic. Then I’ll come home and nap!
