my family and i want to take this time, to thank you all so very much, for your wonderfully heart warming comments on our Christmas Cookies baking friday journal, and pictures. :) We're so happy, and delighted everyone enjoyed our adventure. :) we had so much fun baking the cookies. :) i think on Christmas eve, on monday, i'd love to bake some gingerbread cookies. :) i'd love to include a nice gingerbread cookie in a nice holiday zip lock bag for everyone i give a Christmas mug too. :) i'm so happy i got to go out to shop today. :) it was nice being amongst the Christmas shopping excitement. :) i'm so happy to share about our experiences, and our plans for the upcoming days. :) We're going to visit my lovely grandma tomorrow, for our annual Christmas visit at her house. :) We're bringing her some nice Christmas gifts, and will have some foods, snacks, and drinks. :) we also love to see Grandma's Christmas tree. :) We're gonna go to visit her during the afternoon. :) it's gonna be wonderful. :)
CHRISTMAS SHOPPING! :) This morning, i took some nice peaceful time to focus on our shopping adventure today. :) i knew we'd be going out to shop around late morning. :) i felt focused, relaxed, calm, and had my wonderful treasures with me. :) You all are always right there with us in spirit during our adventures, our sweet dear wonderful guaridan angel friends. :) we were all set, and ready to rock and jingle bell roll! :) walmart, dollar store! :) HERE WE COME!!! :) we began our super fun adventure! :) we noticed that there was some snow flurries in our area. :) it was so neat to see the snow flurries! :) it felt Christmasy! :) when we see snow flurries, it usually means more snowfall is coming soon. :) we heard on the weather channel, about possible Snowfall on Christmas day here, and next week possible huge snowstorm! wow! it's gonna be a winter wonderland! :) my mom, dad, and i saddled up our sleigh, and we were ready for a lovely sleigh-ride to the stores! :) it's lovely weather for a fun Christmas shopping adventure with you! :) awww! :)
We first went to the bank. :) i had some nice $3 checks to cash for doing online surveys. :) the nice extra $9 would come in handy for my Christmas shopping. :) We drove over to walmart, i knew it was busy there, but i felt calm, and relaxed. :) i said to myself, "everyone gonna be focused on what they're doing, christmas shopping" :) we parked our car, and walked into the store. :) we walked over to the men's clothes area, and were browsing around. :) my dad bought some pants, my mom bought a sweater for my brother Bobby. :) i was looking at the jeans. :) i almost bought a pair of jeans, they have this really nice pair there for $20. i decided though, to wait until after Christmas. :) i'm saving my nice walmart gift card that our dear, and lovely friend Patricia (1Patriciann) gave me for Christmas. :) i'll definitely get that new pair of jeans soon. :)
the store didn't appear to be too crowed, but it was getting more crowded. we walked over to the toys/games area, it was busy. wow! we were looking for the board games, i wanted to buy a board game for Kayla and Taylynn. :) we looked and looked, walmart didn't have any board games. we were very surprised! wow! we looked all around, even by the Christmas gift sets aisles, we didn't see much there, and it was getting more busier too. i felt some anxiety, i was a little off-balance. i was staying close with my mom and dad. we went on the shampoo aisles, and also the candy aisle. we didn't need too much at walmart, we headed to the checkout, i was texting with friends. i felt a little off-balance at walmart, i knew my anxiety had gotten to me a bit. it's been a while since i went into walmart, and i just think if i went more often there, it would be a little easier. i was ok though :) spirit and strength! :) hope and unfailing faith. :)
after we checked out, we put our stuff into our car, and cruised over to the dollar store. :) i knew i'd be going shopping wild there! :) Whooo! :) i felt focused, but felt some tension in my forehead. anxiety sometimes makes me feel like my forehead/temples are tight. i was taking deep breathes, and was ok. :) whew! :) we arrived at the dollar store. :) i knew i'd be going in there, and coming out with many bags! :) hehe! :) we walked into the dollar store, i got a nice shopping basket. :) we were browsing around. :) i feel more comfortable in the dollar store, even though it can be busy, i am use too the store, so it's more natural for me. :) we looked at the gifts, and toys aisle. :) i bought some nice games for Kayla, Taylynn, and some toys for the kids. :) i was getting into the zone! :) i was looking around, buying treasures. :) the Christmas mugs were up by the checkouts, i was nervous about going up there, the lines were long, i said to my mom, "lets go up there to the mugs when we're about to check out" :)
We went on the snacks/foods aisle, i bought some boxes of soup, i got chicken noodle, and onion soup, 3 packets of soup in each box, plus i got a gatorade. :) we then got ready to check out, and we were right near the mugs, i ended up buying 8 Christmas mugs. :) we got in line, and the checkout went fairly well. :) i was a little off-balance, not 100% in tune with my relax-ness today, but i did ok. :) after we checked out, we walked outside into the cool crisp December air, and i breathed a sign of release, and felt a great sense of accomplishment. :) we accomplished a lot at the dollar store. :) i had 4 bags full of treasures! :) hehe! :) Shopping wild! :)
On the way home, my mom said, "You did really well!" :) awww! :) i said, "Thank you" :) when we got home, i was looking at the treasures i bought, sorting everything. :) my legs, and arms feel very exhausted/tired. i'm ok though. :) the experiences shopping took a lot of strength and energy, but it's a great feeling knowing i shopped for gifts for my family. :) i'm not 100% complete with my Christmas shopping. i still need 1 more trip to the dollar store, i may get some more mugs, and holiday tins to put cookies and candies into. :) i'm almost there, almost fully done shopping for Christmas. :) i loved seeing the Christmas spirit in the stores, the snow flurries today, and just taking in some moments of holiday shopping. :) i'm resting this afternoon, got some tv shows on. :) we did really well today, and my mom's going out to shop this evening with my sister Lisa. :) i think tomorrow morning, or Christmas eve morning, we'll go back to the dollar store. :)
We're enjoying a nice day. :) i'm in full relaxation mode this afternoon, and evening. :) i'm taking it easy, made a nice hot herbal tea. :) CHEERS!!! to family, friends, and to Christmas shopping! :) i want to make sure i get a good night's rest tonight. :) when we got home from the stores today, my legs, feet, and arms, feel very exhausted. i'm in great spirits though. :) this evening, Holly and i are going to watch some funny videos on youtube, i'm gonna have some soup, ad my grape gatorade drink. :) Tomorrow's visit with Grandma, and football sunday. :) Go Redskins! :) Hail Victory! :) i'm excited about all of the wonderful things we have to look forward too. :) my family and i thank you all so very much, for all that you do for us. :) You all are wonderfully nice, and sweet. :) we deeply appreciate everything, with all of our hearts. :) BIG GROUP HUG :) Continued thoughts, prayers, and healing energy for the family's and community of Newtown. i'm going to give my grandma a nice Christmas hug for everyone, and going to take a picture of her Christmas tree. :) We hope everyone is enjoying a peaceful, and wonderfully festive day. :)
