Well not too much to add since the last post – see I am trying to do a little better with posting. I am also trying not to add just fluff so to speak – some days are just like the rest. We did get the Christmas tree and all of the decorations down and packed away – a little early this year but we needed to make room. It is hard when you live in an apartment, there is just so much room.
Saturday went well, we did a little shopping for Christy’s birthday – we had to have Christy with us though for what we wanted so no surprises there. I have one note to make to anyone that happens to read this though, if the subject comes up to buy your almost 13 year old(next friday – 1/4) daughter shoes – try to stay home, it will be better for your feet and your patience. After about 2 hours we finally found a pair of shoes that fit, that she likes. I don’t think I ever want to go into another shoe department again – LOL. Since I had very little input on the subject and just seemed to get in the way I recommend that this be avoided at all costs. We also picked up some paint and supplies and this trip was pretty painless – in and out in about 20 minutes and that included the mixing of the paint – now that is my kind of shopping, in and out.

Ron –
It’s funny how it seems men and women shop differently. Men go to the store knowing exactly what they want and are “in and out.”
Women like to browse and search and wonder for what seems like hours!
Anyway, Happy New Years and I hope your daughter has a happy birthday

Please don’t be offended when I say that you sound like a typical (normal) male when it comes to shopping. Although I’m still crazy in love with my husband, I feel a feeling of dread and foreboding when he announces that he’s taking an afternoon off to go shopping with me. Yikes! I know what that means. He’ll go into a store and be patient for about five minutes, after which time he will sweetly and persistently ask if I’m almost finished. Believe it or not, many women find shopping and browsing somewhat therapeutic.

LOL – oh don’t worry marlajayne I am not offended, I know that I get bored easily – especially shopping.
