productive day!

Shopping and more!
I now own 4 pairs of jeans, this is a huge deal. I had 2. Now I have four *grinning. I tried on and tried on a bit more. Not happy with the sizes, but I am happy to find the size, and in colors and what-not I can survive with. Petite is hard to come by it seems. And the definition of petite seems to be a grey area as well. ;)
And another observation, everytime I go to buy socks and underwear, they are all different! New sizing, packaging, or styles or something so that is winds up taking an eternity. I was a large in girls socks. Now the large girls fit my 6 year old daughter. Odd isn't it?

I picked up sand-salt mix from public works- all ready for the possible storm Friday. I dropped off a good chunk of recycling there too. Donated 3 pairs of jeans (hated them) at Goodwill. Mailed a package to Bangor today. And hunted (3 stores) for ski pants- it is fate you know. The kids always outgrow them in the middle of winter when the pickings are terrible in stores. And I can't pick up ahead as sometimes they grow in a way that they could skip a size or two ahead. Tricky.
Like my new simmer thing? I know I turned it wrong way around, I like the candlelight in the picture. My old was was leaking wax underneath it. Must have been some odd hairline crack somewhere....
Oh and I ordered a goodie for DH> We have a new pool table (long story made short- on sale, DH wanted one since forever, now we have one) and no clock in the basement where the pool table is. So I used most of my gift cert money at Amazon to get this little item. I think it's cute, sort of corny I suppose, but fitting for where it's going to be. Hope he likes it! Although I know he's going to say something about it being a clock. Since he's had the table down stairs, he's lost all track of time, *giggles. No excuses now!
