Hubs and I went out Saturday....he had Christmas shopping to do(he drives me nuts waiting until the last minute!) and I had a Fashion Bug gift card to use up since the stores are going out of business. I wanted to get into that store before everything good got bought up. I found a couple of things and used up my gift card and waited in the car for Hubs to emerge from Walmart. No way I was setting foot in Walmart during the weekend before Christmas! lol
Then we hit the bread store to stock up on bread products since I haven't been back since Nov. 24th. I may have gone overboard with the Holidays here, buying things like doughnuts, cakes, Stollen too.....I LOVE Entenmann's Stollen!
$22 later and 7 loaves of bread, 3 packages of rolls, 2 Stollen, 2 packages doughnuts, 1 cheesecake, 1 pecan danish ring and 2 cheese buns, we left the store.
This should get us through the rest of December AND well into January.
I had to pick up 2 prescriptions at Rite-Aid too, so while I was in the store, I "bought" a couple of other things......

The Oldest son arrived home safely late afternoon on Saturday.
And my Holiday miracle--an item I ordered in November from overseas arrived BEFORE Christmas! I had given up hope on it getting here in time for present unwrapping time.
It's wrapped up and under the tree.
Now I am one contented mama.
And we got a light dusting of snow which made the snow-crazed beagle happy.....
Silly dog.....
And I still don't know what I'm cooking for Christmas dinner......sigh.....

I cannot find even a single Cella chocolate covered cherry in this town. Granted, I have not searched every service station, but I have covered lots of territory. I don't need them anyway, but that's no consolation. CVS, Rite Aid, and Walgreens are Cella-free zones.
