dyk I had tons of fun this morning getting a gift for our cousin Stephanie (Carys' mom)
dyk I went to Lindsy's Etsy site and Lindsy made her a silver birthstone necklace, with Carys' name, like the one she made Karri with Emma's name
dyk Lindsy's prices are great! And i think she already made and shipped the neclace.

dyk I am watching extreme couponers again -- Sean is watching it with me

dyk and we're considering bulk shopping at tax return time (Feb for us)

dyk purchasing with a coupon(s) at a bulk rate store things like:

toilet paper
deodarant
ketchup
BBQ sauce
pasta
dish soap
detergent
anti-bacterial kitchen cleaner
baby wipes
diapers
cereal
pretzels and popcorn

dyk we are tossing around ideas for what a "year's supply" of these types of items (that I buy almost every week or every other weeks) would look like

DYK I got the Kindle Fire about a month ago.

DYK with the Fire, it has internet access so they can access the web; text; etc. Keep that in mind.

DYK I got my DD the Kindle Touch and she likes it.

DYK they do have the free books, but they are very limited as far as what kids might enjoy.

DYK I think it boils down to whether you want to pay for books. That's the hardest part for me.

dyk, my wanna be running buddy is actually at work today

dyk, he wants to go run around the common when I get done, I'm tempted

dyk, I missed boxing today and I have a lot of aggression built up

dyk, maybe a good run would help

dyk, my boss...she has basically left us hanging

dyk, I think she's trying to stick it to HER boss, which in turn sticks it to us

dyk, not that she does that much, but she IS final sign-off on annual distributions

dyk we are going to have a houseful of people on Christmas day!

dyk when we do christmas morning, it'll be us 5 and my brother

dyk but our christmas dinner has just grown by 5 people -- my friend and her 3 kids (husband working shift work so she's alone christmas day) and our Jen-friend's DH and DD (Alisha the one with diabetes) b/c she's working nights 4 straight nights over that entire weekend

dyk their christmas is Dec 29th -- it's always the week after and we spend the entire day over there with them

dyk so far people are bringing desserts and drinks

dyk I put my friend Steph in charge of dessert b/c she takes it as a personal (and fun) challenge to bake gluten free for me!

dyk I am making a ham, and scalloped potatos, a yummy ellaborate salad and not sure what else.
