Very Productive Day




Yesterday was very productive for me. Mark and I left home at 9 am and returned at 7pm. I got all my shopping done and it all wrapped, when I got home. The traffic wasn't too bad. I think we went to every store, but we accomplished our missions. Trying to explain to someone that you want an MP3 player, but don't want to spend alot, well we found one at Walmart of course, but all they had left was the display. So we went to Sam's club. I joined up yesterday, I had always wanted a membership. No luck with the MP3. We finally found a very nice young man in Sears to help us. I had to buy for a large family that just came to our area from the Philippines and could only bring what they could carry on the airplane. 4 kids 10,8,6& 6 months. we split up the list, so I had 2 children to buy for. I think my kids really enjoy helping me with this project every year. I hope that it helps them appreciate what they have.
A couple more days at work, then I get 4 days off. Mom is coming over for a last minute project tonight and I really have never done much baking (sad I know) this time of year. I would really like to change that. I did buy Rugula at sams yesterday apple and raspberry YUM!!
almost bought a cookie kit, just add decorations. LOL Can you tell I'm not much of a sweets eater. I love to cook just not desserts, I am really bad at it.
Anyway hope everyone is on there way to a Restful weekend. Shell is up to her ears in projects, Izzy seems settled in a ready for her parents visit. Jan is always busy, no matter what! LOL
Jolene is spending time with family, that seems to be growing daily-Congrats.
My new friend Missy has lots going on, havent's caught up one her blog yet.

Wow ... shopping is completed and all gifts wrapped. I'm so jealous ... but so happy for you that you are all done. What a wonderful thing you are doing for the family from the Phillipines. I can only imagine how hard it was for them to come to the US with so little. Thank you for recognizing me as a new friend ... that made me smile. Missy
