It comes next weekend.<BR/><BR/>I recd lots of gift certifs and bought several of my fav bras at Macy's for each 2 bought got one free in store and one in the mail. So I got 8 bras for the price of 4. Also bought a sterling silver necklace, 3 boxes of really good dark chocolate, some baby shower and birthday gifts and some odds and ends.<BR/><BR/>Still have some other gifts certifs left including one to Cheesecake Factory. I just love their cheesecake and my other indulgence is Carvel Hot Fudge Sundaes.<BR/><BR/>Had Borders and B&N Gift Certifs also, so bought LOTS of books!Pat L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11131728518949727213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-1168646604124809952007-01-12T18:03:00.000-06:002007-01-12T18:03:00.000-06:00A house?

I've ordered from them and I don't know about SP, but the shoes were true to size. And they often have good sales plus free shipping.<BR/><BR/>KathyKatherine Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14701961380138616355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-1168624677740445382007-01-12T11:57:00.000-06:002007-01-12T11:57:00.000-06:00Oh, Lois...I understand.

I'll sit and watch my favorite movie when I'm down or sick. A fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies seems to do the trick. Wearing my Dad's old sweater, reading an old favorite, and gardening never fail to brush aside the bums. A phone call to Mom, a hug from the kids, cuddling with a cat, beginning a new project, and doing something for someone else always gives me a boost.<BR/><BR/>Who can resist shopping? A trip to the mall is a quick pick-me-up. Also, smile over and over again. Before you know what's happening, you'll actually start to feel like you want to.<BR/><BR/>KathyKatherine Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14701961380138616355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-1168607858972274322007-01-12T07:17:00.000-06:002007-01-12T07:17:00.000-06:00Unfortunately, I've been known to purchase food fo...Unfortunately, I've been known to purchase food for comfort on a regular basis. :( The latest was yesterday, when a box of chocolate chip cookies ended up in the buggy with my sinus infection meds. <BR/><BR/>Gotta stop that, huh?Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010424240956906870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-1168578653160223832007-01-11T23:10:00.000-06:002007-01-11T23:10:00.000-06:00Don't tell, but I slipped a few personal items in ...Don't tell, but I slipped a few personal items in with the Christmas shopping budget -- new undies, a new purse and some candles and stuff. I hit the sales earlier this week and bought a few new clothes.<BR/><BR/>But... I have 10 crisp $100 bills just waiting til my decorator comes over next Wednesday to start decorating my office. Bye-bye tacky old curtains. So long crappy bookcase. Hello futon and new curtains! My goal is to have a creative sanctuary that will double as a second guest room. I can't wait! <BR/><BR/>Oh... and I bought valances for the kitchen windows the day after New Years. I've been eyeing them for almost 2 years now and when I saw they were "Buy One Get One Free" I decided to stop waffling and get them. Now to find a decorative rod I like and get them up. <BR/><BR/>Good luck with the house SP. Picking out can be fun. And we expect a great housewarming party too. *g*<BR/><BR/>PMPlayground Monitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444337591281145863noreply@blogger.com
