I need more sleep.

Yup.

I use these biodegradable ones, right? I’m so frelling holy. And they’re a royal pain, frankly, because they aren’t big enough.

This probably take some of the shine off the halo, but I add disposable plastic gloves to the pocket with the plastic bag. This saves having to collect everything in the plastic bag with one grab, and is particularly helpful when digestive problems are involved.

140 bags for £15.

These people trying for the Jesse James Award or what?

And sentient axolotls and fruit bats could hardly have less intelligence - or even common sense - when it comes to looking after the planet than humans are showing at the moment. Talk about sawing through the branch we (and every other living thing) are standing on... sigh

Why does she want to go with me again?

Apparently because you were highly entertaining at the last one. Smile

And I’ve already sheepishly admitted that that was more fun than I was expecting. People! Gah! Conversation! Gaaah!

ROFL!! Sociability can creep up on you, y'know. Next thing you know you'll be going to parties ON PURPOSE. Smile

Yes. SIGH. *SIIIIGH.* I was completely *mindboggled* at what a total frelling bust Copenhagen was. In my wildest nightmares I never thought it would be that bad (starting with that EXTRAORDINARY feat of failing to *count how many seats there are in the auditorium* . . . WHAT???)

I can't believe they didn't have sales online! My grandmother was talking about how they had stores open at 5am and 6am here in New Jersey (here for the holidays). I didn't look online, though.

I shall be going out looking for sales myself tomorrow with my mother, grandmother, and mildly crazy aunt (she's a lovely person, but a bit flighty). I fear I might need prayer.

This is goodnight and not goodbye.

Shopping with hubby is the worst. He has absolutely zero patience for browsing shelves in any store he doesn't want to be in, so I inevitably don't get everything I need, even with a shopping list in hand because he's rushing me along. Then, in other stores, he will want to browse for a long time and will strike up a rambling conversation with the store's owner (this usually happens in some small specialty shop) and want to stay long after I've selected what I need to buy, and we end up buying additional items because I continue to browse while he talks ... and talks ... and talks ...

Both situations happened today.

I'll second that. There are places I simply won't go to with my husband. Grocery shopping can be bad enough. Smile

i am lucky,my hubby is a good shopper and he does all the x-mas wrapping and does most of my mom's too.i can sympathize with your weather robin,we had freezing rain yesterday that turned to snow and now it is snowing and blowing so hard it is creating white out conditions for driving and my hubby clears the roads on mountain roads.

I will NOT SHOP with Peter. His idea of 'shopping' is to buy the first thing he sees when he crosses the store's threshold. Any store. Whatever it is, it'll DO. ARRRRRGH.

I am a great believer in shopping alone. It is something I don't enjoy much, but I am fussy about food and I do love hardware stores, art supply stores, and places which sell paper and books.

I guess what really gets me is that I haven't enough money to buy all the tools, brushes, blank books, and real books I would like to purchase.

I had an Adventure (which involved both seeing far more of New Jersey than we intended to and trying to appease certain family members). I did get some pretty things out of the trip, though.

Valentines day is good for something at least-they're selling rose items!
