Well I certainly had plenty of time for Christmas yesterday, given that I was snowed in! I caught up on a number of TV specials - including the good old Little House on the Prairie Christmas special where Rose was kidnapped. Amazing how times have changed. Today her dad would have been tossed into jail for leaving her unattended (not to mention out of a seat belt) in the wagon while he went for food. Today adoption is so much more complicated then "Want this kid? Okay, here you go. I'll let the orphanage know he won't be coming back." Or so I hear, anyway. But even so, good episode. Add to it a couple of Hallmark mushy movies and it was a great Christmas celebration.
And today I had my gift exchange with my good buddy Jenny. She was my supervisor when I first hired on at my job oh so many years ago - and even though she works elsewhere now, we still go to lunch all the time and she puts up with all my craziness. For that, she deserves a gold medal. Not quite what I gave her, you understand, but it's what she deserves. My first gift exchange of the season - a great start to the week!
As a bonus to the day, I survived yet another pre-holiday trip to Wal-Mart, despite the lack of a SINGLE CART at either entrance to the store and the lack of a SINGLE EXPRESS LANE for me to use in purchasing my armload of stuff. Okay I'm willing to accept that it's a busier time of year, but they put a commercial on TV saying they'd open more lanes! Where are said lanes? In what city? I will go there!
Whew. I'm okay now.

I HATE SNOW!
Glad you are getting all this stuff done. I invited Carly to the next game night
They are lying! There are no possibilities of another lane opening up. You must prepare to have your ice cream melt before you get home.
Wal-Mart is off limits for me unless a trip is absolutely necessary until January 2.
Phats - Hey that's great! Now you gotta convince her to show up! :)
Tina - LOL - that's true! Since shampoo was one of the things in my armload last night, Mom said I should have gone for a gallon of water and washed my hair in checkout. Maybe THAT would get their attention.
Amy - I want to say amen to that - but see my ranting post to see why I can't. :(
Every time you comment on Walmart I find myself laughing out loud :)
