Holiday Shopping

Visited the dollar store last night to pick up gift bags and little add-ons for the presents I'm wrapping. One birthday and the first Christmas party this week. At the check out, along with the gum and eyeglass repair kits, hung home pregnancy tests. Talk about your impulse buys. I don't think I've ever seen condoms at the dollar store, have you? Are dollar stores owned by pro-lifers?

I'm imaging the checkout conversations. "No Billy, you can't have any more candy, pick something without sugar, how about this home pregnancy test." Or maybe, "Oh honey look, a home pregnancy test, I've been meaning to grab one of those." "Get a couple, they're only a buck."

Crafty Women

Sat with BFF Sandy on Saturday at her mom's women's club expo. Sandy is selling her crafts under the business name: Eye Candy By Sandy. Gotta love it. She is crocheting scarves and making purses out of placemats. Rain kept the crowds away but we enjoyed the day anyway. I brought a few crafting supplies of my own and made some Thanksgiving cards.
