It is a wonderful thing, most of the time.  We do a lot of shopping on line, most of the time the shipping is comparable or less then the fuel to make the trip.  We live 15 minutes away from our little town of 2500 people. I moved here from a small city of 13,000 and would not dream of moving back.

lol. I WISH we had a Target instead of a Walmart, I loathe walmart! I go to Kroger for as much as I can, and then the dollar tree, if I absolutely have to I will go to Walmart but I hate it.... come to think of it I have to go tomorrow.... ugh.... I dread even the thought...... not to mention how much money I always end up spending there.... lordy lordy. My daughters Bday party is on saturday, last min preps. my mom is driving up from savannah tomorrow too. woof.....long day.....

  That does sound like a long day.  I'm sorry   We would rather go to Target too, it is also in the city an hour away.  If my husband or son need socks or underwear, that sort of thing we will go to Target, less people.  The only reason we go to Wal-Mart once every 2 weeks is because they carry the flavored water my husband needs for work and the Greek yogurt I use in place of sour cream.  We were on vacation over the 4th of July near a large city.  We ran in to go to Wal-Mart, the parking lot was the biggest one I had ever seen, the store was brand new and had just opened that week, every single parking spot was full.  My husband saw that, took one look at my terrified expression and said " I think we will just skip it"      Happy birthday wishes to your daughter

Hey, I am back....for now...Has everyone received their gift.  what cha think, did you like what you got.  I know I needed what chickenchick sent me.  the brightness and cheerness will make for a wonderful visual while i am eating at home tonight.

hope all is well with everyone.

  I am so glad I can be of some kind of help, even though I can't be there with you.


Bock bock I got a sweet surprise in the mail today!!  Thank you!  Don't want to give any details yet and possibly spoil it for someone else 

PS Please thank your adorable assistant for me

Ok... I deserve a lashing but my gifts are in the mail today... and YOU TWO will not be sorry!  You know who you are, since you're the last two to have gifts sight unseen (just look at my history of gifts, I'm a good giver).  Please forgive me.  I tried and had good intentions but I have no good excuses!  Slacker.  Anyway I hope you enjoy your gifts.... you'll see them soon.

Bockbock, did you like the coconut candy? I'm addicted to that stuff, I'm trying to learn how to make it but Im not so good at grating the fresh coconut!

Robin, you never updated me on how things were going. I posted on the family section for you go see if you can find it. Hope everything is better.
