The Day After Christmas

{{sigh}} I love the day after Christmas.... I love shopping on the day after Christmas.... we roll out of bed whenever.... we get dressed at a slow pace, we eat breakfast (at least 2, one of candy/cookies, one of actual semi-nutritious food)... we wander out the door... today I think it may have been slightly before noon. By then, the first wave of rabid shoppers is gone (passed out at home already from all the frantic grabbing and jostling, no doubt), the second wave of shoppers is at lunch, the traffic is managable and shopping is a delight.

Mom and I went out today. Kay was home nursing her cold and Dad babysat the dogs. We had a list, only veered off it once (who can pass up Bed, Bath and Beyond?? we went without coupons even!), got everything on our list but milk (oops... breakfast will be a little tight) and only stood in line for an extended time at Kohl's. And we purchased absolutely NOTHING that we needed. Only stuff that we wanted!! It was a totally successful day! Whisks and pine smelling lotion from Williams-Sonoma, tools (what else!!??) from Sears, fingertip towels from Kohl's, gift labels and more Christmas lights (half off) from Target, marzipan from Horrocks, kitchen doo-dad from BB&B.... total success!!! And fun! Ate bad food for lunch, too!! Corn dog nuggets from A&W washed down with diet root beer (does that redeem us??).

Was productive once we got back to Kays house.... won't say what just yet.... hee hee hee

Have to head home in the morning... rats rats rats.....

Wanna come help me pack????
