Its official "freaking cold" outside! I am going to have to pull out my mittens and scarves.
Last night was my birthday dinner- I requested meatloaf and cheezy broccoli. It was delicious and it was great getting together. We havent done gourmet night lately so it was nice doing dinner with everyone! Thanks guys for the gifts and great food!
Christmas season is in full swing much earlier than normal this year. Both for myself and everyone else apparently. We went to walmart today to get VE some food and diapers....it was the middle of the day on a thursday and the place was packed, people were pushy, blocking off isles with their carts and making everyone else wait for them to finish. Its getting plain nasty out there. Normally I love the hustle and bustle and "drama" of holiday shopping....I fight for parking spaces, and battle the crowds and feel somewhat jolly doing it...Not this year (and its not even thanksgiving yet!!!!) I think when you have a child who is screaming, wanting a "cacker", trying to find a restroom to change a dirty diaper in, a baby wanting out of the stroller/cart etc....the fun holly jolly holiday shopping becomes a terror and online shopping sounds much more realistic. So thats probably what I will do this year for the most part.
Happy (grouchy/pushy) holidays to everyone!

I absolutely hate shopping at this time of year and I think online shopping always sounds so much better! Plus, getting packages is ALWAYS fun (even if it's not all for you). But even if I do my shopping in stores, I always end up buying things for myself ... so why not do the same when I am online shopping, right? Then when the package comes, it's that much more exciting knowing there are things in there for me. That sounds kind of bad. Bad, but true. I don't want to be anywhere near a mall for the next 2 months pretty much.
Hi meghan, nice to be reading your blog. Hope I didn't hurt you yesterday in Walmart, just kidding, I wasn't there. People have problems don't they if they are getting nasty in Walmart before Thanksgiving is even here, they are missing the whole reason for the season and to me that includes Thanksgiving, they should so be thankful for what they have, we are still blessed to be living in this country. Take care girl, Vaughn is sure growing into a little lady, what a cutie. Barb Wright
