Last Minute Shopping at The “W”

‘Twas 4 days before Christmas and all through the house not a gift was purchased…no not one…nothing even wrapped.  Was I in a panic…no, not me…no mall trip to navigate no whoa is me!  I jumped in the Sonata and drove down the street, parked and got out and entered the big “V”…oh I mean the “W” Walgreens.  

Long gone are the days of Santa and toys, I now have mini-men, they are no longer little boys.  Safety and Life Skills are things that they need, a job application and gas money will be under the tree!  ‘Tis the season for a few little gifts so they’ll have something to unwrap when they finally roll out of bed….after 12 noon if that!

Gifts from Walgreens

 A Polaroid Tablet for Son #1, he can take notes in class, read a book or just have fun.

Old Spice

Wrestling, lifting, or just watching TV…they definitely both needed one of these!

Son #2 is up texting all night so he needs help in getting up and a Bluetooth for no talking while driving (I know it didn’t rhyme this time).

Docking Station and Alarm Clock What to get hubby…oh boy…what does he need…nothing really, except maybe me!  Can’t go wrong with a gift card…one or maybe two and with Walgreen’s big selection that wasn’t too hard to do.

Food and drinks and a trip to Lowe’s will fit the bill, added a little Dove Body Wash and all is chill.

Last minute gifts are sure to be found and if you need any assistance just look around, or maybe someone will greet you as soon as you walk in the door.

 I am so glad to finally be done, no stress…no hassle…actually it was kinda fun!

Now it’s time to head home and wrap up these gifts and place them neatly under our beautifully decorated tree!

If you have any last minute gift buying to do head over to your local Walgreens as most stores are open until midnight.

Happy Holidays!

OOTD – Christmas 2012

Hello Friends and Merry Merry Christmas 2012!

I hope you all had a wonderful day filled with love and happiness – nothing more and nothing less – stay blessed my friends.

Today’s outfit is easy, breezy, stretchy, comfy – perfect for my activity level of the day.  If you follow me on Instagram you saw a few Christmas morning pics with my “boys” and their “toys”.

OOTD – HAPPY FRI-YAY!

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!

I hope your day is going well and that plans for the weekend are in full gear – enjoy!  My mother-in-law is doing well and I thank you for all your prayers.  Tonight the boys and I will be visiting taking a small table-top Christmas Tree to brighten up the room and raise her spirits.  All week I have been psyching myself up to start decorating and have decided that tomorrow is the day, oh Lord.  Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t like decorating for the holidays, it just getting motivated to start because I HAVE TOO DAMN MUCH.  If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen pics of just a few bins of Christmas decorations that are in my basement’s crawlspace.  When my sons were younger, they were all gung-ho and couldn’t wait to help – now it’s like pulling teeth and hubby is a Muslim so he only helps to put the boxes away, the majority of the work falls on me.  The older I get the more I understand why people paid others to decorate their homes, remember this episode from “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air”?

It’s not as cold as I expected but there’s a cold rain falling so I bundled up with a scarf for casual Friday.
