So, what'd you get done during the shutdown?

I went grocery shopping in a rain storm with multiple stores to visit.

  • Lace, that sounds like a rocking good time. Not.

     I made three loaves of bread and pizza crust that didn't rise so I tossed it and ordered Pizza Hut. I also cleared out my dining room of the last few unopened boxes and put up the new window treatment in preparation for Thursday.

  • Pre-addressed all of my Christmas cards. Now I just have to get the picture printed out and they are ready to go on 1 Dec :)

    Pizza night at my house too! LOL Although I cheat and use the Pillsbury dough.  

  • Slept. Went to choir practice and work. Got a carbalicious dinner from Fazoli's. Bought new boots. Did some laundry. 

    It was a good day.

    It was AWESOME! Stick out tongue I was out of groceries though so I didn't really have a choice. 

    Boo on the non-rising dough. Since J has been gone I've been using refrigerated biscuits to make mini pizzas since I don't like leftovers.

  • I took a nice long nap and ate some McDonalds. 
  • I sent the baby to my mom's and got a massage although that was planned.

  • I pinned a lot of things on Pinterest, baked cookies, made my compound butters for Thanksgiving, and did some laundry.

    I just sent change of address cards & thank you cards for the baby shower. I'm waiting until the last possible second to do Christmas cards. I thought about ordering through Vistaprint & paying them to address the envelopes, but I'm not made of money.

    Y'all have to stop talking about Fazoli's. I wonder if their breadsticks would freeze & ship well.

    Did you get the boots you posted about the other day?

    A nap sounds wonderful right now!

    Was it just delightful? Do you get your neck/head massaged too? (Assuming it was a full body massage.) I hate how greasy the bottom of my hair gets so I don't do that part often.

    Haha I like to get them out as soon as possible so it's one less thing to bother with. Holidays are stressful! And I might have printed out the return address labels prior and only had to do the "TO" portion.

    We were up at the crack of dawn. We had a long day yesterday so we went to bed at like 8:30. 

    H played some CoD for a couple of hours before we left the house to get to Costco when it opened. We bought our new pots & pans and came home. I ended up going back out to two Targets and IKEA.

    Now I'm doing laundry and trying to decide on dinner.  

    I need new pots & pans too. Somehow along with my crock-pot I lost all my sauce pans. I have too huge boiling pans that I have been cooking single size portions in. It works, but is weird.

    I do that from time to time. I especially love the location feature so I can creep on all the 18 year old wives aboard CP. And the trashy chicks from back home.

  • When it was out last night we were at our friends house. Miss C has figured out that just because someone has a tummy that that doesn't mean they have a baby growing in there like her Momma does so I got poked a lot. Boo. And she was a nut the rest of the time.

    Today I slept in. E told me a looked so cute and serine that he had to let me sleep. Then he made me breakfast. We went to Toy's R Us for some gifts and then the mall. I spent way too much money on myself but most was on things I needed like a bra and new jeans and the other was on candles from Yankee Candle. OMG I'm burning Cherries on Snow right now and its HEAVEN. 

    Then I took a nap. Other than that not much.

  • S was up all night, so I was up all night. I gave up at 6:30 and let DH take over. He was a total sweetheart and took S out so I would have a quiet house to sleep in for a few hours. Then he woke me up w/ breakfast in bed, to include starbucks, and informed me that after seeing how S liked the Christmas decs at WalMart (where they walked around today since we have no mall), that we were going to buy new decs for his first Christmas.

    So we went into to town and bought me my new Christmas tree, and some other decorations, and had lunch. Then S and I went to coffee with our neighbor.

    All in all a very busy, but not so productive day. All the cleaning and packing I was supposed to get done over the past couple of days now has to get done tomorrow before we leave on Tues.... it was worth it.

    It was freaking awesome and I definitely get the head/neck massage.  I usually don't like how greasy I feel afterwards but this woman was light on the oil.  I think I slept through most of it. Embarrassed

    Omg. I had no idea. Must creep... And almost everyone uses their real name!

    Costco has a 10 piece All-Clad set for 500 dollars right now. It sounds pretty steep, but the same set is going for at least 1k everywhere else and this set will last us, probably literally, the rest of our lives.

    We have our old set you can have for the time being if you want it. We were just going to toss it.  

    That would be awesome!

    Those ones didn't come in my size, but I did finally find some that were similar!

    Sooooo cute.

  • Homework. Lots of it.

    And some laundry and basic tidying up the house.

  • I read Prison Talk Online's Military section. 

    One guy said that the JAG Corps and Al-Qaeda have in common that they wake up with the intent to ruin the American service member.

    Indifferent 

    I've seen a lot of military surprise homecomings. It wouldn't work on me. I always have my back to the corner and my face to the door. Looking for terrorists, criminals, various other threats, and husbands.
