the outlets were both fun and agonizing. we got some great deals for the kids, and some wintery type outfits for the wee Dragon Ball. my plan of action so i didn't eat the kids and the kids didn't eat me, was to shop until we found something more appetizing than each other.
there were frozen bananas...
and pretzels...
and we ended with Ben & Jerry's (no spoons required).
i would definitely do it again, but i would go a bit earlier, and try and eat something heartier before we got there.
regarding my mom's christmas present, i think i might actually have it done by then! woo hoo! crocheting it is hard on my hands so i can't work on it for long, but little by little i am getting there, and i know when she opens the box she's going to be like LSP... all "OH. MY. GLOB! this is the BEST. THING. EVAR!!!" too bad i won't be there.
and as far as crochet goes... my lovely new interweb friend Ellen Bloom has gifted me with some beautiful cotton yarn. i am going to wait until i talk with my hubs and find out where we are moving to, until i decide what to make with it. i am hoping somewhere warm, and i can whip up a little light shawlette or something. we shall see.
btw, if you love L.A. as much as i do, and you miss the food and color and everything, you really should give Ellen's blog a go. it's lovely.
