OMG - someone needs to stop me from shopping. I went online to Old Navy to look at baby stuff and ended up buying myself a couple pairs of flannel pants. I didn't need them but I just couldn't resist the "sale" they were having. I have bought myself so many gifts this Christmas it's not even funny. Ugh!!

Cathy, I have the perfect solution for you:  send me a few of those gifts to alleviate your guilt.  I am seriously doubting Santa will visit my house this year otherwise.  I'll pm you my address and size...

Dammit Cathy, please don't mention that Old Navy has a sale going on!!!  I had to look, & didn't have the self control not to buy.  Flannel pants, & camis....

Amanda - Hopefully this won't matter, but as always, before I placed my ordered I googled for any promos and found a coupon code for 20% off the entire order if it was $50+. As luck would have it (?) I had spent $50.50, so I was able to use the coupon. Was this luck, or what?

Order Subtotal: 50.50 Promotions: -10.10 Shipping & Handling: Free Tax: 3.33 Order Total: 43.73

 well I baked some cookies and well I don't think they are very good LOL I always bake healthy things and these are going to someone that is vegan so I surfed for a recipe and used coconut oil instead of shortening.  Anyway they are done.

Still irritable and tired of the dreariness.  mailed a bunch of cards and just delivered a bunch locally.  Not much left now

Heather great picture!!

Oh and if any of you are thinking about giving your dogs raw tripe - don't - unless your olfactory nerve is dead.

Seriously though, I'm going to need to check into a rehab program to stop this nonsense. When I get admittted, I'm donating all my stuff to Tina though ;)

That was great luck!  (I had the coupon code too!)

Where's Deb?  I think that I need a little of her vodka...

Raw tripe isn't that bad until they barf it back up an hour later.  We had an "incident" a few weeks back, & the entire house smelled BAD.

If I open tripe too early in the morning, I get quite nauseated. Blech!!! Grossest stuff ever. Although I've found that lamb tripe isn't as bad as beef tripe, so I use it more often.

I got my Christmas cards done today...finally. It took so long to figure it all out I was about ready to give up, but I finally have my photo cards. Now I just have to distribute them!

My ribs pains are finally beginning to subside. I still take one Tylenol 3 at bed time and will likely do so for another week or so, but during the day the pain is pretty much gone. Six prescriptions, numerous xrays, and four weeks later, we're on the mend!! I've never been so relieved....especially because my sis is due in two weeks and I want to be all better for baby things!!

  There must be something better about the raw, because the Solid Gold stuff is revolting.  I brought it with me on the trip across country with Gracie because I needed her to eat all of her food in one sitting, instead of grazing.  I had that can next to me in a cooler, sealed up twice over, but as soon as I'd open the can to serve her, I'd gag.

Heck I can assure you this - it was waaaaaaaaaaay worse the the solid gold stuff and that gives me dry heaves at times.  It was from a local company and came in a tube thing frozen solid.  I had to defrost it a bit yesterday so DH oculd cut it in half and then it thawed overnight in 4 layers of plastic and in a tupperware (that had no contact but I still threw it out) and the only way I could get it out of the original plastic tube was by holding my breath.  It was hideous, bizarre in consistency and repulsive to smell.

Amanda I have no idea how you dealt with it coming back out.  Seriously!  I told DH never again and he said 'Oh but he likes it" 

When we went to the grocery store I saw something wonderful - CANDY CANE OREOS. The downside to bringing BF is that he wouldn't let me get them. I did get peppermint ice cream sandwiches and they are gooooood.

I have a GIANT problem. 

There are only 10 days until Christmas and I have yet to taste the delicious crunchy chocolate goodness that is CANDY CANE ICE CREAM.  It is my all time favourite favourite ice cream.  I usually stock up and buy like 10 tubs. 

Old Navy doesn't ship to Canada and I find that very sad.  The closest one is two hours from me.  I have these brown yoga/lounge pants....they are capri length.....I think they are called some sort of gaucho capris!  They are the best lounge-e pants ever.  I need another pair though, mine are covered in paint from when I moved into this house and we painted. 

We are having a Christmas Party on Wednesday evening with some of our friends and I am making pomegrante martinis.  I bought the stuff to make them today and I've been "testing" them this evening.  YUM.

I got ya beat on grossness.... came home tonight to find one of the three had pooped in the bedroom.  I kinda don't blame them since I imagine the guys were using power tools and they had no idea what was going on.  I suspect I know which one did it, because he tried to eat it and conceal the evidence - but peuked it up.  I challenge the tripe to smell worse than peuked poop.  At least to be less messy during clean-up.  These dogs are lucky I am a forgive and forget kind of person when it comes to a dog getting sick.  He/she can't help it... even if they were the moron to EAT THE POOP in the first place...

Hmmm, reminds me.. I need to find something for dinner....

Yummy seg there!  Blech!

Ah, what the heck...eat one for me too??
