The boy gets the best clothing money can buy, however, since 2 brothers are in line behind him.<BR/><BR/>BB's Mom - I snagged two spiral trees and a reindeer for the yard, but upon getting home realized that the trees are 2' tall and my husband is cracking up.

My husband is going to die when he sees the mountain of outdoor decorations I've amassed this week. Let's see, there's 18 boxes of lights, 4 penguin sculptures, 3 spiral trees, 2 stick trees, and 2 rope light trees. There's a Santa, too, but he probably won't notice him since he's exactly the same as one that died this year.<BR/><BR/>This is, by far, my favorite time of year to shop. You're right, the stores need to have extended hours now, not in November.Burgh Babyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09123901504643963583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-72671908633131252612007-12-29T22:43:00.000-05:002007-12-29T22:43:00.000-05:00i love shopping the after x mas sales. i stock up...i love shopping the after x mas sales. i stock up on all my wrappings, trim and misc. plus stores like bath and body always have their gist baskets way cheap!Zoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316768306476213276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-927966303437696982007-12-29T21:43:00.000-05:002007-12-29T21:43:00.000-05:00We have a couple of thrift stores around here with...We have a couple of thrift stores around here with poor quality clothes.

To top it off, this year we had the unexpected expense of a new computer. Needless to say, I skipped the after Christmas sales. I'll just have to wait till next year. <BR/><BR/>BTW, I did a post on the discipline meme you tagged me for today.

It seems everybody thinks it is the perfect month of the year for 'Special Assesments' and for finding errors in their bookkeeping (I had a plumber who did work on our house in CA THREE YEARS AGO contact me the week before Chrismtas to dispute a $500 payment - he said we didn't make it! It pays to be diligent with old receipts and cancelled checks - I immediately found proof and told him to shove his bookkeeping error. And then wished him a Merry Christmas.) Why not April when I actually have a little extra cash courtesy of the IRS?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-64277120991160403932007-12-29T13:21:00.000-05:002007-12-29T13:21:00.000-05:00I love thrift shopping.

And I think it would be a great idea for the utilities and mortgage companies to just suspend all December payments. That would make things all better. :)Fleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412755038083750088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-77199162308350959092007-12-29T11:42:00.000-05:002007-12-29T11:42:00.000-05:00Yikes, you got some great deals on the jeans.
