Are the holiday soaps there all the time or just at the "appropriate" season? So cute!!
I
think they might have a couple of holiday type options throughout the year, and then more as the holiday approaches.
We got the girls each a specialty duffel bag for dance gear with a rack for competitions. Then we got my brother a dart board set, Paige a bow and arrow (I know, we're crazy). We went to Target in the evening armed with a 20% off coupon and a $10 off card and did some "regular" shopping too. My bank account is very sad right now! But most of my shopping for Christmas is done!
I am working on a gift for my DD's 5th grade teacher. I really don't want to get the same thing as others (plus it's a male teacher) Do you have any suggestions??
Gift cards are always a hit with teachers. To be able to stop off for dinner one night after a crazy school day is nice, or to have an extra Target card in January, when all the December shopping bills come in and the heating bills are high.
My bank account is getting
slightly happier and happier, because I am staying out of stores!
I love all the displays at the
Lego Store!
Hoping you don't have any issues from all the winter weather this weekend!
We keep getting threatened with snow and ice, but so far, nothing has been too upsetting around here.
Well today the temp has steadily dropped all day but we are only at 48 right now. Started a fire in the fireplace to help offset using the gas heat for a bit.
Yup I am home all day every day and sadly not getting as much done as I envisioned.
So far I have Physical therapy twice a week and I was still able to get out and referee a couple of high school swim meets.
I do try to tackle a small home project every day and with the kitchen project I am still dealing with odds and ends from that.
I have a room full of stuff that was in cabinets in the kitchen that is being sorted to either go in the garbage can or if good condition to Goodwill.
I do have a couple of soaps I still keep up with but I am also clearing the DVR.
Thanksgiving week was a low key week, last week was kind of busy and next week is less busy so I hope to finish the front room and the Christmas tree.
Basin is cool but sometimes I can only spend a few minutes in there before my nose gets twitchy.
Too bad you aren't closer. We are having a holiday shop for our students, and we're in the market for people's leftovers and discards.
Many, many, many years ago, I watched All My Children. I don't recall anything about it now. There was another one that was more of a hit at the time. It had Luke and Laura. Was it Days of Our Lives? I don't remember. I didn't watch it, but I saw commercials of it, and it was big in magazine aisles.
I bet it felt good to get out and work some swim meets, huh?
Hi MeMom and Jill
I'm about 70 pages behind
School has been keeping me very busy this year. I had 7 papers and 8 exams this semester. Now I'm down to one paper and two exams. Almost done
My last day is the 17th. Then I can get caught up here
I was skimming through a few pages and saw you mention a December/January trip. What are your dates? We never booked anything, but we were tentatively planning for Jan 5-11. Now we're in the middle of a family crisis that may prevent us from going. There's still a chance, but it's gonna be last minute. Last year we booked it 10 days in advance and didn't have any problems, so I'm not worried about that. If we can't go in January, we're looking at spring break.
Hey there, DIS college girl! I am glad you are happy and busy at school. I saw a picture of you on FB - I guess it was your Thanksgiving get-together, maybe.
We will just miss you, if you arrive on the 5th. We are leaving on the 4th. If you can tough it out through the winter, spring break is FABULOUS!!!!
I lost some Mickey bath bombs on our return flight home once. I was so upset about it. Called them to see if I could get them replaced, and they wouldn't let me buy them since I wasn't on property. I was not happy about it one little bit.
Bummer! Did you figure out how you lost them?
I am still mourning my pool guy Mickey that I left in the window at Pop Century last March. I called the next day, and they could nnot locate him. Either the housekeeper got him and put him somewhere - if she cleaned/checked the window - or the people who were staying there got him. I was hoping Pop people would ask the new guests if they had found it and it would be returned. I have looked on ebay, and I have not seen another like him.
Even if I find one, he won't be the one I had.
I'll probably convince myself that someone put my guy on ebay and it is really him. I wish I had marked him. Then I would know if it was really him and he was having a long adventure somewhere before coming back home.
) So we went out in the snow and did some serious shopping!! What's a little snow? 
Those little devils hurt a bare foot!
