I just got home from grocery shopping since I didn't get a chance to yesterday. I was nodding off in the car on the way home from church so after lunch I laid down. I think I took a 3 hour nap and still had trouble waking back up when DH tried to wake me. It was worth it. I still slept last night too! But now my day is off track and I have no idea what to ask or whats been asked recently.
Have you started Christmas/Holiday shopping yet?
I started a few months ago when I saw toy clearances going on. It's always helpful to put things away for my kids or my nieces and nephews. I was able to get several Lego sets on sale. Those can get expensive easily so I was really pleased! I have picked up some other little toys or stocking stuffers here and there too.
I got excited because one of the "hot" toys of the year is already sold out everywhere; but I found 2 in the store. They were left in a different section from where they belonged and they were face down at the back of the shelf. On Amazon they are going for more than twice the regular price and people are reporting receiving lots of counterfeits! This is the first time my kids wanted something that was popular but I had no intention of going crazy to try to get it. If something is crazy expensive or hard to get; they just don't get it. But this year they will.
I started other shopping last weekend. My Mom and I went to the annual craft fair and I picked up a neat crystal nail file set for my MIL. She's always filing her nails when we visit and they claim to never wear out. So I think she'll like them.
