[blparent] Christmas Trees. was Re: Fireplace idea

Mon Dec 1 00:00:16 UTC 2008

Wal-mart has little warm up suits that say, "Smartie Pants." I bought one 
last year for my Bella and they still have them.
Can you elieve it, Gab and I just spent almost 3 hours there shopping.  We 
started out with lunch at Mickie Dee's, chicken nuggets, honey for dipping, 
fries and apple dippers- no sauce.  She had apple juice and I had a diet Dr 
Pepper.  We shared the fries and apples. Then off to shop. Let's see, Gab 
got a new fussy sweater and some burgandy pants and a blue and white turtle 
neck with hearts.  We also got dog food, dog toys, a present for a party 
we're going to for NFB, 3 picture frames, some dark chocolate for dad and 
some curtains for Gab's room.  $100 later we finally left that crazy place. 
Ouch! Oh well, we had fun. V
