I handed the bag to Hubby and told him it was 2 of my Christmas presents I'm one of those clearance rack/store coupon shoppers. Doing the same thing today at the grocery store. This site really helps you save money on groceries/pharmacy items, you save the coupons that come in the Sunday paper, and it cross-references the weekly specials against the active coupons. There is also a forum with all sorts of tips and special deals on online holiday shopping: http://www.couponmom.com/welcome.php?PHPSE...91d46145048aa85 Every little bit helps!

That wine is a tradition in my family too

I spent a whopping $29; got a sweater and a top

Shopping/Steinmart

I'm a Virginian and I've always loved the name

We had a bit of snow here today too; snow showers, no accumulation though. But it was really pretty! I was driving home and there was still a lot of moisture in the air; with my sunglasses on, and looking through the very top of the windshield where it's blue, some of the clouds looked pink! (not when I took my glasses off though; it was kind of weird!)

I have to work for approx. 2 hours today and then next week I have a 4 day weekend!

Over the Hills and Far Away by a smidge over the Rain Song, but it's really close

Just started one by Debbie Macomber from the library; I forget the title. Lite, pleasant reading, sort of along the lines of a sunnier Mary Higgins Clark. I enjoyed her books about angels at Christmas; very different from what I usually read

I hope your daughter stays in dance; her first recital will be wonderful!! I'm glad you 2 had a fun day today too!

Parent night at my younger daughter's Tap class (6-7 year olds tap with such enthusiasm!!) And last night at my older daughter's Pointe class; they are doing fouettes

It snowed overnight! Just a little though

Laundry is never finished in our house!

Putting away a bunch of sheets/towels that had been in the basket most of the week...

Crazy; major rain earlier and we're under a tornado watch until 7pm.

Sleeping until *10am*!! I can't believe I did that!

Boys Don't Cry, The Cure

It was pouring down rain most of the day today. Now it's stopped raining but is still gray, cloudy, dark, cold, damp, ....

Very happy to learn that my Christmas break is longer than expected due to an extra paid holiday day! Time to start a holiday vacation ticker...

Amen to that!

This is from the weekend ... driving down the road with the kids; listening to a Skynyrd cd with all 4 of us singing "Sweet Home Alabama" (yay...not hip hop!!)

Woo Hoo Lucy; that is awesome!! I am just happy to be home. Rough day at the office.
