Amazing how that happens. :) Since I posted last: we had a wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving with John’s family I got most of the Christmas shopping done on Black Friday we got (most of) the Christmas decorations up, including the tree I got my hair cut – 11″ taken off and donated to Locks of Love and a bunch of other stuff that…

Baby Mug Cereal Bowl Small Plate Or I could just get the boxed set for 46 pounds (which today equals $77.09). It costs more than we spend on groceries in two weeks, but would be so sweet to have!
