switch842I had two goals this morning - finish Christmas shopping and get a new tree. I am happy to report that we were successful!
First stop was Target. We only had a short little 4' tree from when we were in our apartment. Now that we're in a house and have a little more room, I wanted a bigger tree. I stopped by a couple weeks ago, but they were a little too expensive. I decided to wait and see what kind of Christmas bonus I got and perhaps get a new tree with that money. Bonus was good so it was off to Target again! They don't have much left (obviously), but they did have the one I was looking at last time. And for 50% off! Woot! So, got a new tree, new skirt, Nintendo DS game for my mom and a couple little pressies for hubby. Yes, he was there. So, not exactly surprises. Oh, well.
Next stop was a local "high end" shopping center for the Williams-Sonoma store and Gap. My brother wanted a set of those cast iron rings that you use in a skillet to get perfectly round eggs for sandwiches and stuff. W-S is the only place that apparently sells them. Found them! Woohoo! Also saw this while there. Which is cool, but a little too expensive for hubby.
After that was Gap to spend a 20% coupon I had that was expiring. Picked up a couple more things for me. I needed something to wear Christmas Eve and Christmas. Got two new shirts plus a maternity puffy vest for $49!! Which is amazing cos I think the vest was originally about $80 by itself. Score! :-)
After a quick stop by Coldstone for a little break (had another coupon) it was a quick stop at Best Buy to find a Wii game for my brother. Sadly, the did not have it. :-( But, we get home, find the number for the local GameStop and they do! It's used, but that's OK. Hubby runs out to get it while I start decorating the tree. He comes back, we get the tree all decorated and my other measly Christmas decoration sitting around and Presto! Instant Christmas home! LOL
So, yes. All is done. I just need to order what I want to send to my other brother out in CA. And we're all set! Now I just need to see about taking some time off on Wednesday to do the rest of the baking. *fingers crossed*

She bought me a movie for Christmas and managed to buy the blu-ray and not the DVD. *rolls eyes* We won't even get into the rest of the issues with the package/gifts. Let's just say it's a good thing I a) have a sense of humor and b) love her to death.
Anyway I should have snow pictures soon or well as soon as I get off my butt and go get my camera.
