Christmas Shopping Saga

What a fun weekend! All went perfectly as planned. Well not exactly I guess. AM and I started at the flea market but we went too early and the booth I needed wasn't open yet! So we headed off to Kmart and that went good, got all I needed. Then it was off to Hastings, AM had to get some gifts there and then to the dollar store for stocking stuffers. But after we left I realized that I forgot to look for books for my nephew...Hobby Lobby was next were I got a scrapbook album. This is great, it was 14.99 and I had a 40 percent off coupon- woo hoo!! I'm using that album for all the 2008 photos I've been working on. I'd like to have one for every year. And I have one that is for all old photos I've been hanging onto. The oldest being a photo of my grandma when she was a baby being held by her mom. I really love that photo. We made a second stop to Hastings next to HL for a forgotten item. Then it was off to lunch at Red Brick Pizza. We were tired, hungry and ready to sit. Well RBP is perfect for this situation! They have little flat screen tvs at all the tables! How absolutely great is that! So we zoned out for awhile eating pizza and watching Bruce Almighty. Just what we needed. After that we headed to Trader Joes to look around for awhile. Where I picked up some white cheddar pop corn and some fizzy pomegrante juice which I'm saving for my birthday this Saturday. I'm saving the juice not the popcorn already dug into that! Then I dropped AM off and went to Target for awhile. I really like Target, I don't go there very often but it seems to be theraputic when I can just go and stroll. I got some cute 5 dollar shirts, some Christmassy and some Valentines Day ones that were hiding in the back. I love these shirts. I have some for St Patricks day, Halloween and Thanksgiving. They hold up really well for just being 5 bucks! Then I headed home to wrap and relax. I also watched Bednobs and Broomsticks this weekend-yes!
Clint is came home early from his hunting weekend after they took down an elk yesterday. Jonethan is still with my folks. We'll get him back at the Christmas Eve service on Wednesday. I miss the kid! Oh and yesterday I went back to the flea market a little later in the morning and got what I needed there and made a quick stop at the dollar store and found cute little books for my 2 year old nephew. Yay for me!
I'd love to have a new recipe for readers but I hardly ate at home this weekend it seems, and when I did it was leftovers.
Until I shop again-
